VIMS Alumni Mentor Program

VIMS Alumni Mentor Program

The mentorship program at VIMS pairs incoming graduate students with alumni for the purpose of developing an informal mentorship relationship. As a resource for career planning, the mentors shared life experiences and advice are invaluable.

Would you be willing to participate in a mentorship program at VIMS? The guidelines would include a request of the alumni to establish contact with the student (through phone, e-mail, in person) for a minimum of two times per year.

For any questions, please contact
