Overview
Since 2005, the Alumni Mentorship Program has fostered valuable relationships between Skule™ alumni and students. Alumni Mentors share their knowledge and experience and provide students with the encouragement and insights they need to get a great start to their careers and begin to set a course for the future. They enhance students’ educational experience and give back to their alma mater in a unique and rewarding way. Mentors often also learn from their bright young student mentees as they help them navigate important decisions at a critical time in their lives.
The program is open to undergraduate (including Professional Experience Year internship participants), graduate students (MASc, MEng and PhD) and alumni who graduated more than one year ago. Matches meet at the program’s kick-off event held at the beginning of the fall semester. From October through March, mentors and mentees connect informally as they wish, and all matches gather at several program events planned throughout the year.
How it Works
Alumni Mentors & Student Mentees: Alumni and students will receive an email inviting them to register for the program in August - September. The formal matching of mentors and mentees will take place in October, after the virtual Information Session.
Note: Mentors who join after the matching period will have opportunities to participate in various micro-mentoring events throughout the year.
All participants are required to be a member of U of T Engineering CONNECT and become part of the 2024-2025 Alumni Mentorship Program group.
