Join the Student-Alumni Mentoring Program! As an alum, parent or friend of the University, you have the opportunity to mentor and lead many students. Our goal is to directly connect current sophomores, juniors and seniors with alumni and friends of the University of Evansville, in order to establish a variety of professional support.

Student - Alumni mentor partners are assigned for the academic year each September by the Office of Career Services in consultation with Alumni and Parent Relations, based upon the best achievable match between the student and available mentors.

This program will kick-off in September with a reception on campus in the new William L. Ridgway University Center. The Offices of Alumni and Parent Relations and Career Services and Cooperative Education will host on-campus luncheons to provide networking opportunities in the months of October, November, February and March.

You do not have to reside in Evansville to be a mentor. E-mail can be the exclusive means to connect to our students or it can be an additional communication tool for those who ordinarily meet in person. Over the years we have had many successful long-distance alumni mentoring relationships develop from this program.

To volunteer for the alumni mentoring program, complete the Mentor Interest Form online. For more information on the mentoring program, please contact Monica Spencer, at 812.488.4065,or ms323@evansville.edu.
