Career Mentor Program
Career Mentor Program at Utica University is a collaboration between the Division for Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion and Student Transitions, the Division of Advancement, and the Black Alumni Association.

The year-long program pairs sophomores, juniors, and seniors with alumni mentors. Participants will be diverse and inclusive to ensure that the program reflects the goals and ideals set forth in both the Strategic Plan and the Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Operational plan to create a campus climate, including programs and resources, that are welcoming, inclusive, and equitable.
Students - if you are matched with an alumni mentor, you'll receive:
- Advice for transitioning from university to career
- Information about career fields and industry trends
- Professional connections and networking
- Support in launching your internship or job search
With mentors' inside knowledge of how the industry works, there is no one better positioned to give you that guidance!

Students - are you interested in joining the Career Mentor Program to help you grow personally and professionally? Complete our interest form and let's connect you with a mentor that complements you and your interests:
