Mentor
Program
About
the Program
The UAB National
Alumni Society has paired with UAB Career Services to create
a mentor program for UAB students. The
Mentor Program was established to create relationships between UAB
students and UAB alumni (and UAB friends) who are willing to share
their professional insights. |
|
| |
|
| The
program provides an opportunity for students and alumni to interact
and discuss career goals. Students gain firsthand knowledge of the
trends, realities and expectations of their chosen career field.
Additionally, Mentors may provide practical advice and critical
networking opportunities. |
