Career Mentor Program

The 2020-2021 Career Mentor Program at Utica College is a new pilot program and began as a collaboration between The Center for Career and Professional Development, the Office of Advancement, the Office for Diversity, Equity and Inclusion, and the Black Alumni Association.

The year-long program pairs 20 juniors/seniors with 20 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 college to career
Information about career fields and industry trends

With mentors' inside knowledge of how the industry works, there is no one better positioned to give you that guidance!
