The Indiana State University Office of Alumni Affairs and the ISU Career Center have developed an alumni mentor program to assist students with their career development and to reconnnect alumni with Indiana State University.

Students benefit from the program by having the opportunity to interact with ISU alumni who work in the students' field of study. Alumni volunteers are able
to provide students with information pertaining to classes and collegiate experiences that benefited them in obtaining their positions and which make
them successful in their chosen careers.

Alumni mentors may also be able to answer questions regarding resume development and effective interviewing skills. In some instances, alumni may be able to allow students to shadow them at work for a few hours and offer career and job search advice.

Discussion Topics
Mentors will be able to help their students by facilitating:

E-mail or phone discussions regarding career related advice.
Resume and cover letter critiques.
Job shadowing or visits to job sites.
Informal lunch meetings.
Informal meetings at alumni events such as
Homecoming, alumni club events, sporting events, alumni/student receptions.

How to Participate
All ISU students, staff, and alumni are invited to participate in this program. If you would like to volunteer, complete the student or alumni profile form and email it to the Office of Alumni Affairs.

The Office of Alumni Affairs will match students with alumni who share similar professional interests and career goals.
