UNH Pathways is a mentoring program hosted by the University Advising and Career Center in coordination with the Alumni Association. UNH Pathways brings alumni professionals and undergraduate students together for professional growth. Alumni provide valuable insight on navigating through the post–college world. Pathways provides students the opportunity to build career networks and develop skills to become better professionals and leaders.
The program runs from September to April and is structured around monthly mentor and mentee meetings, coupled with two on-campus meetings for the entire Pathways group. Ideally, pairs meet face-to-face each month; however, the use of conference calls, e-mail, and Skype suffice if scheduling is a problem. Topics include, but are not limited to, resume building, interviewing, networking and work – life balance.
Peter Souris, '00, and Kelly Donahue, WSBE '12, share their story in the UNH Magazine.
According to Kelly, "This program has been so amazing... I don't think I would be as prepared as I am for graduation without my mentor."
