Alumni-Student Mentorship Program
Our Alumni-Student Mentorship Program connects CS undergraduate students with supportive alumni of computer science, who are working in the field, and are willing to share their academic and career experiences with a student mentee who is preparing for their own path.
How it Works
What it takes to be a mentor
Students can benefit from your insights. Your own experience, and the journey from your undergraduate degree to where you are now, can be invaluable to a current CS student as they plan for their own future.
Becoming a mentor means that you should be willing to:
Share your experience, both the positives and negatives
Engage. Listen and have a dialogue with your mentee.
Act as a resource for your mentee
Expectations
In order to become a mentor for the program, we ask that you:
Attend the mentorship launch event on Wednesday, January 24, 2024 at 5:30–7:30pm (for mentors located in the Greater Toronto Area).
Meet with your student at least 3 times between January and April.
Note: The mentorship program is not a job placement service. Students are required not to solicit employment from alumni mentors and any attempts to do so should be brought to our attention.
Applications for the Winter 2024 mentorship program are closed.
