Student Alumni Mentor Program
Gain valuable career advice and network within your field. Apply to the Student Alumni Mentor Program offered each year by Career Services and Alumni Affairs at USF Sarasota-Manatee. This is a competitive program as only a few students from each College at USF Sarasota-Manatee will be selected to participate. Here's what previous participants have said about their experience:
"I have very similar backgrounds and personalities, making it
very easy to establish a great relationship with my mentor. She was an excellent
resource to me for career guidance, advice, support, and most importantly
friendship." Leigh G. '09
"My mentor constantly reminds me that it's not the smartest people who
accomplish things in life; it's the hard work and effort that pays off in the
long run, which in turn, makes you become a successful person. She also
motivates me to excel beyond expectations that others may perceive my potential
to be." Katrina A. '09
