A Modern Approach to Engaging College Students in a Mentorship Program — Peter Titlebaum, Eric Schutter — The idea of a mentorship is not something many college stu¬dents prioritize or even consider; it is a concept that they struggle to grasp. Despite this struggle, it is still imperative students have an understanding how to get the most out of these mentorship relationships. Students need to be em¬powered to know how to handle these relationships, when presented. The key is to find mentors who can relate to the students. Individuals who have gone down the same path, such as program alumni, are the key people that students need to reach out to as possible mentors. Alumni would be able to pass on wisdom and professional insight while also connecting to current students of their former institution. A mentorship program that connects current students and alumni would not only benefit the mentor and mentee but al-so the institution itself. It provides another avenue for insti-tutions to allow their alumni to give back. Keywords: mentorship, alumni, students (50-62)
