Professional Network: Mentors

The Career Services Center and the UMBC Alumni Association invite you to become a mentor in our Professional Network, part of UMBCworks, UMBC's online recruitment system for students and alumni. This network will enable students to explore industries and career fields, while building their professional contacts.

As a volunteer mentor in the Professional Network, you will be able to:

• Create a professional profile that outlines your areas of experience.
• Select the various career topics you would be willing to discuss with students.
• Give back to UMBC and help students gain knowledge and develop key networking skills.

For full details about the network, please see the following pages:

• Mission, Vision & Contact Information
