Apply for the new Alumni Mentoring Program
The Metro State Office of Alumni Relations and Alumni Association, in conjunction with the Metro State Scholars Program, are excited to announce a new pilot program. The Alumni Mentoring Program (AMP) will match alumni mentors with current students in the same course of study. The program will begin in January 2010 and a February launch event will bring all mentors and mentees together. The AMP will be a semester-long commitment, but the hope is that the program will facilitate a longer-term experience that will benefit both the mentor and the mentee.

The deadline to apply is November 30, 2009. Note: Even if you responded to a graduate survey in the last two years expressing your interest in this program, we are requesting that you still complete this application.
