Are you interested in an MPA Alum becoming your mentor? The MPA Alumni Network began the MPA Alumni Mentor Program in the Fall 2017 semester.

Mission: to transform alumni and students into colleagues via mutually beneficial mentor relationships.
Purpose: To provide an enriching experience for MPA students that will prepare them for careers in chosen fields.
Structure: Mentor/Mentees are matched for one semester. Participants will meet regularly with their mentor to develop short term & long-term career goals.

“My mentor exceeded my expectations. I learned not to limit myself, with my possibilities. I expanded on my community service group and was able to find a main career focal point.” – 2022 Mentee
