Mentor FSU is Florida State’s virtual mentoring network that connects students with alumni and friends of the University! Mentor FSU is one of the Career Center's longest-running signature programs. In 1988, we provided students with professional contacts utilizing a rolodex and index cards. Today, students browse potential mentors located across the globe at the click of a button. 

How does the Mentor FSU program work?

Mentor FSU is our entirely virtual mentoring network. Once the mentee and mentor profiles are fully completed, the Mentor FSU program recommends potential mentor matches to registered student mentees by aligning career interests and academic experiences. Conversations are always initiated by students with their selected mentor.

How much time do I need to put in?

There is no required time commitment, do what works for your schedule! You can engage in a single conversation or have a longer mentoring relationship over time.

Student Veteran Ally Program

The Student Veteran Ally Program is a mentoring program dedicated to supporting student veterans’ transition from service to academia to career by matching them with FSU Student Veteran Alumni who have walked their path before and are in the industry the students are interested in going into.

Dates: 

  • Program Duration: March 1st - June 1st 
  • Registration: February 9-22  
  • Orientation: March 2-6 
  • Workshops (Optional): April 6th, May 4th 

What will the mentorship experience look like? 

The mentorship program pairs each student with a mentor based on aligned interests and preferences, to the best of our ability. From March through June, students are expected to meet with their mentors for at least one hour each month. 

During orientation, students will work with their mentors to establish measurable goals and schedule their meeting dates. Each meeting should include a student-prepared agenda designed to support growth toward these goals. 

Throughout the program, sample discussion prompts and relevant resources will be sent out monthly. The Career Center will also host guided events to support meaningful engagement; these events may count toward monthly meeting expectations.
