Alumni Mentor Program Launched

The Reverend Richard L. Bailey, S.J. Alumni Mentor Program launched its inaugural Alumni Mentor Lunch on October 6, 2010.  The program is a collaborative effort between the De Smet Jesuit Alumni Association and the counseling department, and focuses on providing interested students with access to De Smet alumni who have careers in areas of high interest.

The goal of the mentor program is to provide current students with a unique opportunity to be mentored by De Smet alumni with experiences in a variety of career paths. The students meet with alumni approximately six times per year. Each meeting matches alumni from a particular profession with those students interested in that field. The mentors will discuss the work that they do and how they arrived at their chosen field, and will provide time for students to ask questions.

Future topics and dates include:

October 20 - Law 

November 10 - Owning Your Own Business

November 17 - Engineering

December 1 - Computer Science

December 15 - Criminal Justice
