Alumni Mentor Program - Alumni
The UCLA Alumni Mentor Program enables alumni to share their professional and personal experience and expertise with current UCLA undergraduate and graduate students.
As an alumni mentor, you will have the opportunity to provide students academic guidance as well as career and personal development advice. Your mentorship can empower students to create a game plan for the year ahead, explore career possibilities and even begin to build their network. We encourage mentors and students to connect on a regular basis (e.g., by phone, video conference or email). However, the frequency and form of communication are things you both can determine.
Whether you are right down the street or across the globe, we invite alumni from around the world to be part of the UCLA Alumni Mentor Program.
Please look to explore our FAQ page for commonly received program questions. For specific questions please contact alumnimentor@alumni.ucla.edu.
Story of Mentorship. Impact a student like Marcos and Christine
"Marcos reached out to me the minute we went live. As a transfer student, Marcos made it a point to ask me questions about my time at UCLA as a transfer student. Throughout the semester/quarters, Marcos would keep me posted on the things he was doing. We talked a few times about making sure to participate with student engagement via clubs and organizations to the importance of reaching out to faculty, and I even shared with him summer internship opportunities that may interest him. I provided some clarity for Marcos to think about how to navigate his time at UCLA.”

"Christine has been a very proactive and engaged mentee since the very beginning, starting with her initial email asking me to become her mentor. She was uncertain about her unconventional science major preparing her for an accounting career and laid out her concerns and goals to me upfront. Off the bat, that gave me the tools I needed as a mentor to provider her with meaningful advice and discussion. I have no doubts we will continue our mentorship beyond the school year and that she will continue to go above and beyond in all the things she seeks to do.”
