The CUmentor program is designed to link alumni, employers, and professional partners with current Clarion University students to facilitate mentor-mentee partnerships that foster the sharing of knowledge and experience.

Our goal is to:

  1. Increase student preparedness, confidence, and knowledge related to professional field(s) of interest.
  2. Provide students with opportunities for professional development, networking, and information/idea exchange with professionals in their academic area.
  3. Provide opportunities for alumni to connect with Clarion University and play a notable role in current students' future endeavors.
  4. Establish partnerships between alumni and students to facilitate career exploration and career coaching.
