A Lifelong Network
This fall, bbin娱乐平台 launched a Career Mentoring Program. We reached out to our broader bbin娱乐平台 family to ask whether folks would be willing to mentor young alums and current students as they explore various career paths. The community answered. To date, 75 current parents, parents of graduates, and alums who are established in their careers offered guidance through informational interviews and shadow days. We have already connected dozens of them to recent graduates and current seniors, with more matches to come. We are deeply grateful to our volunteers and look to continue and expand this network in the future.
While some of our students and young alums can tap into their own professional networks through family and friends, many cannot. This program seeks to provide equitable access to career advice and mentorship across a broad range of fields. It gives the mentors another way to give back to a school community that, for many, has been transformational. And, for all, it will form connections and friendships, some of which will hopefully last for many years.
