Mentoring

As the pressures of school, work and future graduation commence, Daily employees are eager to hear and learn from graduates like you.

Become a MDAA 2010-2011 Alumni Mentor today to volunteer your professional knowledge and advice.

Help Yourself by Helping Others.
Mentoring is a win-win. It offers you the opportunity to share your professional experience, refine your leadership skills, build your resume’s extracurriculars, network and reconnect with the Daily community. The flexible program caters to individual mentor and mentee involvement preferences and needs, including:

• Resume review, feedback and job search advice.
• In-person meeting(s), either one-time or ongoing.
• Digital touch bases via phone or e-mail as needed (great way to be involved even if you’re long distance).
• Answer specific student questions submitted to the Association using the Daily’s Employee Intranet “Ask an Alumni” function.

Please fill out the mentor sign-up form below. Mentor matches are dictated by the number of submissions received and students’ career interests.
