UGA Mentor Program Spotlight - LeBria Casher
SUPPORT FOR YOUR GOALS AND AMBITIONS!
When I heard about the UGA Mentor Program, I knew without a doubt what a wonderful opportunity it was and that I should apply immediately. I was able to choose a mentor that would share my major, interests, or experience at UGA.
My mentor, Allison, genuinely supported my ambitions and talked me through my goals. The biggest surprise was the flexibility of the UGA Mentor Program. It wasn’t time-consuming. It didn’t interfere with my class schedule, work, or any other obligations. I got to establish how frequently I wanted to communicate with my mentor, and we communicated monthly via email, telephone, and in-person.
Don’t hesitate to apply, students! It really is a great program, because there’s a mentor and commitment that’s right for everybody. Having a mentor is a great chance to look at someone else’s journey from UGA to where they are now — especially if it aligns with your interests.
Calling All Graduates!
The Career Center is currently collecting employment data on all 2019 UGA graduates (August 2018, December 2018, May 2019, August 2019). Complete the survey for a chance to win a prize valued at $500. The winner of the $500 prize drawing may choose from a predetermined list of items, including DJI Phantom Drone, Xbox One X, PS4 Pro Game Console, 55” Sharp TV, Apple Watch, and more.
Post-graduation data is completely confidential, and is utilized in ranking procedures to increase the value of your degree, as well as to provide career guidance to current UGA students and alumni.
Apply for these (and 15,100+ additional) positions via Handshake!
