Alumni Mentorship Program (AMP)
Introduction
Dear Faculty and Staff,
The Office of Student Affairs is excited to share a new initiative from the College of Applied Health Sciences launching this spring: the Alumni Mentorship Program (AMP) — designed to connect undergraduate students with AHS alumni for meaningful, short-term mentoring relationships.
With the theme “Shaping Professional Identity,” AMP provides a supportive space for students to explore life after college, build confidence, and gain insights from those who have walked a similar path. The program is especially beneficial for seniors but is open to all students interested in developing professionally.
We would greatly appreciate your help in spreading the word. Please consider promoting in any of the following ways:
- Posting a brief message to your Blackboard course site
- Announcing the opportunity during class or via email
- Sharing the program flyer and sign-up link with students
