MENTORSHIP PROGRAM
SUPPORT FORT HAMILTON'S FORT SHADOWING PROGRAM
The Fort Hamilton Alumni Fort Shadowing Program is an Alumni Association-funded initiative that helps students:
-
Explore different professions and industries for their paths after college
-
Broaden their focus and interest outside of academics
-
Develop important social and professional skills for long-term success
THE POWER OF ALUMNI
Alumni volunteers will be matched with current students by career interests and other factors. Mentor/mentee pairs will be grouped in a mentoring cohort that will explore a different topic (academics, extracurriculars, resume editing, interview prep, etc.)
The program offers flexibility, allowing mentors and mentees to participate in either an in-person or virtual cohort. Sessions take place during the academic year and cover a variety of topics to support student growth and career readiness.
Alumni who participate in the Mentoring Program will have the chance to:
-
Make a difference in the lives of current Fort Hamilton students
-
Connect and collaborate with fellow alumni through structured meetings
-
Contribute to strengthening the Fort Hamilton community
Requirements:
-
Be a college graduate
-
Commit to a maximum of five in-person sessions (1 hour each) OR six virtual sessions (1.5 hours each)
