UMGC Mentors Give Students an Edge with Their Career-Shaping Wisdom Posted on January 24, 2022 by Jennifer Tomasovic in Advice, Career Advancement and tagged Featured, mentor, professional development.



Mentoring can have a powerful impact on a student’s career development. In honor of National Mentoring Month in January, we’re sharing stories from our students about how this life-changing relationship is helping them shape—and achieve—their professional goals. “At UMGC, we have seen the power of mentoring firsthand. We’re fortunate to have a network of accomplished alumni who share their expertise with students through our career mentor program, Community Connect.” says Francine Blume, Assistant Vice President, Career Development, UMGC. “We believe that when students and alumni tap into the power of the UMGC community, they can accomplish anything, and we’re proud to facilitate those important connections.” Here’s what some students had to say about their experience with UMGC’s Career Connect program:

Pamela Alston Academic Area: Liberal Arts & Communications Undergraduate Why did you decide to seek the advice of a mentor? I decided to seek the advice of a mentor for two reasons: initially, as requirement for my PACE course, and additionally, as an aspiring entrepreneur and wanting matriculation in my career path, I decided to select a mentor that aligned with my goals, so I chose Veronica Purvis. How is your mentor relationship helping you reach your career goals? Veronica gave me practical advice and strong encouragement for my business and professional goals. She listened intently and we had a great connection. We plan to meet again in early 2022.
