UCLA AAPAN Mentorship Program

ABOUT THE PROGRAM

The UCLA Academic Advancement Program Alumni Network (AAPAN) is proud to launch our inaugural mentorship program.  This program was established to create a mentorship community dedicated to AAP alumni.  We are excited to leverage the talent and passion of our deep alumni base to help provide crucial support to other alumni in need.  Our powerful connection to AAP serves as the foundation for this program and we firmly believe will enhance the mentorship experience.

Participating in the AAPAN Mentorship Program

Connecting with your mentor or mentee

Once you have been matched, please visit your mentor or mentee’s UCLA ONE profile to connect with them. You may begin interacting with your match by sending them a UCLA ONE message or an email (if they have publicly provided their email on their profile).

Participants are not required to communicate through UCLA ONE after a match has been assigned. Please discuss your preferred method of communication with your mentor or mentee, and feel free to continue communicating outside of UCLA ONE. Your mentorship meetings may be conducted either virtually or in-person depending on your preference and capabilities.

Milestones

Please visit the Mentoring Relationships page in UCLA ONE to view your Mentorship Milestones. Our team has provided these milestones to guide the beginning of your new mentorship relationship. Completing these milestones is not mandatory; however, they serve as recommendations for meaningful interaction with your mentor or mentee.

AAPAN Mentorship Program Group

We invite all program participants to ask questions, share updates, and meet other mentors and mentees in the AAPAN Mentorship Program Group on UCLA ONE. Stay up to date on program updates and events by viewing the group’s Feed and Events pages.
