Alumni-Student Mentorship
Connecting With the Next Generation of Duke Engineers
Mentorship matters—and not just for the mentees. Through our fast-growing mentoring network, hundreds of alumni have reconnected with campus through the eyes of current students, forming long-lasting connections while peering into the profession’s future.
Through the mentorship bond, students build professional skills and networks while getting a glimpse of where a Duke Engineering degree can take their career. It’s a rewarding experience for everyone and a simple way to give back to the school.
Class of 2012Being an alumni mentor—especially sharing the lessons of some of my successes, and my failures—has been incredibly lifegiving to me.
How It Works

A One-Year Commitment
Mentors are paired with students after classes start in the fall and work together through the end of the spring semester.
Shared Interests
The focus is the student. We work to form effective pairs based on shared career interests.
