Bonner AlumniMentoring Network
Purpose
Bonner Alumni Mentoring Program
This initiative aims to connect Bonner Alumni in productive and meaningful ways (though
mostly online) with current Bonner students Its purpose is to foster connections that
can support mentors and menteesrsquo personal and
professional development and well-being
Support Factorsbull Having at least one professor who made one excited about learning bull Believing that professors (or staff) cared about one as a person bull Having a mentor that encouraged one to pursue hopes and dreams Experimental Factorsbull Working on a project that took more than a semester to complete bull Having an internship or job that allows one to apply learning from the
classroom bull Being extremely active in extracurricular activities and organizations
ResearchldquoWhen it comes to being engaged at work and experience high well-being after graduation the type of institution they attended
matters less than what they experienced thererdquo
Only 3 of graduating students experience all 6 factors
