ACHS Mentorship Program
Professional Mentorship
The ACHS Mentorship Program connects experienced alumni with current students to foster real-world career support, confidence-building, and industry connections. Mentors and mentees work together over a full term, with support and coaching provided by ACHS’s Director of Alumni and Career Services, Felicia Royce.
Program Overview
The mentorship program brings together students and alumni for meaningful, one-on-one connections that inspire growth, confidence, and career direction.
Each semester offers a fresh opportunity to build skills, exchange insights, and strengthen professional networks. Orientation and training sessions at the start of every term set mentors and mentees up for success from day one.
Matches run for a single semester, with the option to continue if both participants want to keep the momentum going.
Meeting Schedule: Mentors and mentees agree on a standing meeting time and meet every two weeks (total of 6 meetings per semester). Meetings may be held via phone, Zoom, or email—flexible based on your schedules.
