We welcome Alumni and friend volunteers as; Board of Directors, committee members, special event volunteers or in important resource roles such as Career mentors or chapter organizers.

Mentoring Program
Mentoring Program volunteers can be alumni or members of the business community. The Mentoring Program recognizes that mentors are busy, working professionals who are volunteering their time. It is therefore at the mentor's discretion how much time is given to the program. An information interview with a student can be as short as 45 minutes. Mentors may be asked to do an interview once or twice a year. Learn more about the Mentoring Program
