What do a stagehand, a public relations co-ordinator, a pediatric surgery researcher, an accountant, and an entrepreneur all have in common? They’re all returning alumni mentors as part of the Mentorship Plus program at Brock.

Last year, more than 150 alumni mentors registered for Mentorship Plus and the opportunity to be paired with graduating student mentees. Our alumni mentors were able to provide personal insight, knowledge and life experiences about academic and professional successes as well as challenges in their field, occupation or industry.

As we continue our impressive momentum with Mentorship Plus this year, many mentors are returning to repeat the experience. We are working to expand our pool of alumni mentors in particular industries and job types including:

• accounting
• dentistry
• entrepreneurship
• family therapy
• nursing
• tourism

A list of all industries and job types we’re currently looking for can be found on the Career Services website.

Do you have a unique career path or practical work experience you’d like to share with a graduating student? Are you interested in connecting with other alumni mentors through training and professional development opportunities?
