If you're passionate about sharing your knowledge and resources with current students and fellow alumni, participating in AUC Connect is a great way to give back while staying connected to the AUC community. By offering valuable insights, you can make a lasting impact on someone’s life.
Alumni can form both short-term and long-term connections with current students or young alumni looking to grow personally or professionally. Your guidance can provide new perspectives during critical decision-making times.
This program is designed with busy alumni in mind, allowing you full control over the connection and how the relationship evolves. Here are a few suggestions:
- A single meeting may be all that’s needed, but additional meetings can be scheduled based on the goals and length of the relationship.
- Approach each connection with respect, professionalism, and an open mind.
- Respond to communications within 3 business days, or sooner if possible.
- Help your mentee identify goals for the relationship.
- During meetings, listen, ask open-ended questions, and provide constructive feedback.
