The department of accounting and finance in the National University School of Business and Management (SOBM) has initiated an alumni mentor program for students in accounting programs.
Mentors who graduated from accounting programs at National University will be available to share how they successfully completed their degree programs, explain what sort of opportunities new graduates can expect in the job market, and offer tips regarding time management and career advancement, according to Professor Donald Schwartz, chair of the accounting and finance department.
Those alumni are ideally qualified to guide and encourage accounting students, said Professor Schwartz. “They have first-hand knowledge of the challenges and demands involved in studying while working and maintaining other responsibilities,” he added.
While alumni mentors are not tutors and do not provide job placement services, Professor Schwartz said that they can offer valuable information and serve as an important resource to students.
To participate in the mentor program, or for more information, please e-mail Alumni Relations at alumni@nu.edu, or call (858) 642-8111.
