Fordham offers two mentoring programs for alumni to make a difference in the lives of current students.

The application process for the 2009-2010 Alumni and Student Mentoring Program, as well as the Marketing Professionals Mentoring Program, is now closed.

Alumni and Student Mentoring Program

Mentoring Fordham students is a great way to reconnect with the University and to give back, in a tangible and personalized way. Seeing your mentees grow before your eyes is as exciting as it is rewarding. These are relationships that will last for years.

—Chris Gulotta, FCLC '82, LAW '88, Alumni Mentor 2008-2009

The Alumni and Student Mentoring Program, sponsored by the Office of Career Services and the Office of Alumni Relations, provides students with an opportunity to establish a connection with alumni in their chosen field. The program pairs students with alumni who are willing to share their professional expertise and advice on making the most of the college experience. Students participating in this program gain insight and understanding from an insider's perspective through job shadowing, company visits, one-on-one interaction with mentors, and special networking receptions.
