Connecting with your Bulldog family can help you get ahead in life and career, but where do you even start? The UGA Mentor Program helps connect the Dawgs, one meaningful relationship at a time. With over 5,000 diverse, experienced UGA Mentors (alumni, faculty, and staff), there are over 5,000 opportunities for students to connect based on interests, needs, and goals. There are also helpful guidelines, icebreakers and resources on this site to guide you along the way.
What’s the commitment?
- 16-week mentorship (1-2 hours per month)
- Quick chats (15-30 minutes)
- Circles of Success (16-week group session)
- Ask questions!
- Express gratitude
Quick chats more your style?
If a 16-week mentorship doesn’t suit your schedule, connect with a UGA Mentor for a 15-30-minute conversation around work, life and career. You may even find that you two would make a good mentoring match!
Interested in Circles of Success?
If you're wanting to connect with both a mentor and group of peers, a Circle could be a great fit! Based on your profile information, you will receive an invitation to join as they become available. These function similarly to a 16-week mentorship.
