If you're interested in serving as a mentor to current students or young alums, you can make yourself available by filling in the mentoring section of your online directory listing or by contacting the Office of Alumni Relations at 207-859-4310 or alumni@colby.edu. As a mentor you can expect questions (usually via e-mail) regarding college life—from what it's like to be a person of color at Colby to how to find an internship in your career field, to what's an affordable and safe part of your city in which to find an apartment. Some questions may need just a brief answer; others may deserve a lengthier response or a phone conversation. It's up to you to respond to inquiries in the way that's most comfortable for you. We also predict that some of you may never hear from students. Either way, we are most appreciative of your willingness to be a resource to current students; we know you have valuable insights to share. |
