January is National Mentoring Month, and to celebrate, Pitt Commons is looking for a few good mentors!
As usual, Pitt (and the Alumni Association) seem to be ignoring anything beyond their national borders, but that’s okay. It’s normal and expected. đ We’re here – the Pitt alumni – and we know they don’t mean no harm… đ
Anyway… Perhaps you were looking for an opportunity to give something back to current Pitt students and are open for a few mentoring sessions with them. Given your unique experience creates a whole new mentoring-level that national Pitt alums are not aware off and I think could make international alumni even better mentors than native alum who’ve never experienced living aboard for a longer period of time. (This is all in good fun and no pun intended; no offense guys!)
If youâve always wanted to share your knowledge and make an impact in a studentâs life, the opportunity is here all month long on Pitt Commons. Weâll be matching students and alumni in Flash Mentoring pairs for a quick chat.
