Event
Mentor/Mentee Speed Dating
When NewSchool alumni look back on their time in school, many say that one of the most beneficial aspects of their education was the opportunity to work with practicing professionals. Recognizing the importance of continuing to cultivate such relationships, the NewSchool Alumni Advisory Board has created the Alumni Mentorship Program. Through this program, alumni interact with current students, share their unique professional perspectives, and students will have the opportunity to graduate with powerful professional networking experience.
The program abides by both Intern Development Program (IDP) and the National Council of Architectural Registration Boards' NCARB standards. It requires communication between alumni and students whether via email, on the phone, or via video conference at least once a month and in-person meetings at least once a quarter. Several organized events and mixers are scheduled throughout the school year specially catered to the program's participants.
Why should both students and alumni consider investing their time in such a program? Because it will give faculty members, students, and alumni the opportunity to stay connected, expand their network, and connect to the industry in a unique way.
Join us and meet the mentors and mentees participating in this 2015-2016 school year. The speed dating event will provide the opportunity to select your top three candidates. Matches will be made based on preferences and availability.
Not sure this is for you? Come hang out--it's really quite a lot of fun! Beverages, wine and light appetizers will be served.
