The Alumni Mentoring Program exists to quickly and easily connect students with alumni and friends of Illinois Wesleyan in order to assist students in the career search process. Through their professional experience, alumni mentors help students to gain information about a specific career field. Mentors are matched with students based on their availability and the interest and needs of the student.

Most students want to speak with alumni about their career fields by way of phone, e-mail, or an on-site visit. A variety of alumni mentorship opportunities are available, and you decide how involved you want to be.
