📣SEEKING MENTEES!

The Hart School Alumni Network Executive Board is excited to launch the inaugural Hart to Hart Mentorship Program—and now we’re looking for recent graduates and young professionals to join as mentees!

We’ve already recruited a fantastic group of experienced Hart School alumni mentors, and now it’s your turn to connect one-on-one for career guidance, new perspectives, and professional networking. 🤝

Here’s what it looks like:
· 4-month commitment with one meeting per month (virtually, by phone, or in person)
· You drive the relationship by bringing your questions, goals, and topics
· Career guidance—not job placement— plus the opportunity to expand your network
· Eligibility: Hart School alumni within five years of graduation (2021-2026)
