Alumni Mentor Program
Alumni Mentor Program
Stay connected and make an impact by becoming a WesternU Alumni Mentor. There are many meaningful ways for alumni to stay engaged with WesternU, and one of the most impactful is mentoring the next generation of healthcare professionals.
The WesternU Connect Alumni Mentor Program pairs alumni with current students in a year-long, flexible mentoring relationship that supports students’ academic and professional growth. As a mentor, you’ll share your career insights, experiences at WesternU, and offer guidance on navigating the healthcare field.
Whether you’re across the country or close to campus, you can participate—mentorship is primarily virtual, with options for in-person connections when both mentor and mentee are local.
