About the SMG mentoring program
Through the 2012-2013 SMG mentoring program, alumni are matched with students based on industry interest. Mentors and mentees are paired for the entire year, resulting in a learning experience for alumni and students alike. Alumni volunteers currently mentor undergraduate or graduate student clubs, including accounting, finance, marketing, MSĀ·MBA, information systems, and real estate-affiliated groups, and share insights on industry and professional experience.
Applications for the mentor program are currently closed. If you’re interested in becoming a mentor in 2013-2014, please complete the alumni volunteer opportunities form and select “mentor” as your committee choice.
If you have any questions, please email smgmntr@bu.edu or call Sarah Jarvis, Assistant Director of Alumni Relations, at 617-353-2669.
