A Message from Career Services for March 2013
Recently Seattle University invited two national leaders,
Dr. Sharon Parks and Chris Lowney, to campus to speak with students, faculty,
staff and community members about leadership and meaning making. Former Jesuit
and JP Morgan executive, and author of the book, Heroic Leadership, Lowney said “A true leader respects the dignity of others while unlocking their
potential.” Dr. Parks, best known for her book Big Questions, Worthy Dreams
reflected, that a true mentor is one who sees you and recognizes your gifts
even before you do. She challenged Seattle University with the question, “Is a
mentoring community available to all students?”
As Career Services prepares to relaunch the Redhawk Network
Mentor Program this month, we are asking alumni to sign up to be a mentor to a Seattle
University student. Below is the link to sign up and let us know the ways you
are available to mentor, e.g. offer an informational
interview, talk with a student by phone or in person, participate in a workshop
or on a panel, etc. You can select the amount of time and the way in which you
want to mentor. Thank you for being a part of developing the next generation of
Seattle University leaders! Below the “Login” button, click “Click here to complete your
mentor profile!”
