Refer a Friend to be a Mentor

 Do you know someone who would be a great mentor?  Send them a message right now and let them know you think they have a lot to offer.  Mentors can be SU alumni, members of the community, parents of current or former students - anyone who believes in the power of mentorship and wants to help shape the leaders of tomorrow.  Best of all, they can participate whether they live near or far - being geographically located in Seattle is not a requirement.

Here is a great email template to send a message:

Dear ________________,

I think you would make a great mentor in the Seattle U Redhawk Network Mentor Program, and I wanted send you some information about it so you can sign up too.

Career Services is looking for alumni and other community members to join the mentor program so we can provide advice and support to SU students and graduates with questions about their career paths.  When you sign up, you can make yourself available to mentees in ways that fit your schedule.  Mentors can choose the level of involvement and activities most comfortable to them and can sign up no matter where they are located.  Some students are looking to relocate after graduation or to talk with people who live in their hometowns, so not everyone needs to be in Seattle.

Options for getting involved

• Serve as a panelist on career-related topics
• Review résumés or volunteer for mock interviews
• Offer an informational interview or job shadow in your line of work
• Give advice about the role of graduate education in various fields of interest
• Be matched with a student in a structured, academic mentor program
• Become a content contributor to a career-related publication
• And more!
