Alumni Committees
BCOE will be initiating several new alumni committees and groups. Keep watching for specific opportunities to get involved. If you have a particular area you would like to volunteer for let us know! Email alumni@engr.ucr.edu
Mentoring
College students often need a mentor to help them prepare for life outside of college. You can serve as a mentor just by email, or by meeting one-on-one with the student to provide advice and counsel on areas such as preparing for a job interview, when to get an internship, what the "real world" of work is like, how to network and where good networking opportunities are, how to balance work and family time, etc.
