The Alumni Mentor Program: Weeks to the Real World

As current and former "residents" of Weeks Hall, geoscience students and alumni have a lot in common. The Board of Visitors' Alumni Mentor Program can match grad and undergrad students with geoscience alumni who volunteer to assist with friendly, knowlegeable career advice, either by phone, email, or in person.

If you have questions about the Alumni Mentor Program please contact Carol McCartney at carolmccartney920@hotmail.com.
