he Truman Alumni Association - Alumni - Truman State University

By Lesa E. Kerlin
Director, Truman State University Career Center
You can choose to provide information about your career,
employer or graduate/professional school experience. You can
also volunteer to serve as a panelist/presenter for University
programs, provide job shadowing or interact with students and/or
faculty in a number of other capacities.
When students are trying to decide on a career path, an
employer, or a graduate program, talking to people who have
first-hand experience is one of the best ways for them to get the
information and advice they need. They can only learn so much
from reading books; speaking with you helps them understand
what a field really entails.
Absolutely! You are able to indicate how many mentees you are
willing to speak with each month; after you have reached that
number, the system no longer offers you as a mentor for the
remainder of that month.
You will indicate which form of communication you prefer.
