Sport Management Mentorship Program

This mentorship program pairs SM Level 2 students with alumni mentors who have experience working in professional positions aligned with their mentees’ career interests. Alumni mentors provide valuable insight into potential internship opportunities and career paths. They also advise their mentees on their professional development and help them navigate and develop professional relationships.

“
As a student, peering into the professional world can be very intimidating. The SM Alumni Mentorship Program helped me see the post-college world in a completely new way. My mentor was so excited to help me with my resume, tell me about the industry from his perspective, and make me feel at ease when thinking about my future. Not only did our interests match up well, but so did our personalities. If it weren't for this program, I absolutely would not be as confident as I am today.”
