Alumni Sign Up to Be a 30-Minute Mentor

How It Works:

Sign Up to Mentor
Complete a brief form with your availability, a short bio, and a few suggested conversation topics. Students will review mentor profiles and select who they’d like to speak with based on shared interests or specialties.

Each mentoring session is a 30-minute informal Zoom conversation between you and a student. You’ll volunteer for a specific time slot (e.g., 10:00–10:30 AM, 2:00–2:30 PM), and students will sign up for those available segments. You only need to be available during your selected time—not the entire event window.

Students Select Their Mentor
Once the list goes live, students will browse mentor bios and register for one-on-one conversations that align with their interests, questions, or career path goals.

Have the Conversation
Log in at your scheduled time, share your journey, and offer candid insights into training, specialty decisions, and daily life in your field. These 30-minute conversations can have a lasting impact on a student’s future.

Please provide a phone number we can reach you at, just in case there are any connection issues during your session.
Example: I earned my PhD in Biomedical Sciences from the UF College of Medicine and am currently an Assistant Professor at a research-intensive university. My work focuses on translational research in cancer biology, with an emphasis on grant-funded collaborative projects. After completing a postdoctoral fellowship, I transitioned into a faculty role where I balance research, mentoring, and teaching. I’m happy to share insights on academic career paths and navigating early faculty life.
Please select times that best fit your schedule. (You’ll only be scheduled during your selected availability.) You may choose one or more 30-minute time slots within the listed window that work best for you (for example, 10:00–10:30 a.m. or 1:30–2:00 p.m.). As a 30-Minute Mentor, you’re welcome to volunteer for one or multiple slots .
We’d love to include a photo of you when sharing mentor profiles with students. A professional headshot or clear, high-quality photo works best.
