Want to make a difference to a current K-State student? Join the ArtSci Alumni-to-Student Mentorship Program!

Share your expertise and experience with a current ArtSci student when you become a mentor in the ArtSci Alumni-to-Student Mentorship Program. You will be matched to a student from your area of study, and as their mentor you can share any tips, tricks, and advice you have about careers, college, and more.

There are a lot of big and exciting things that go with being a college student—on top of studying and focusing on classes, students are looking to find a career path that is of interest to them and figure out all that goes along with applying for jobs. By becoming a mentor in the ArtSci Alumni-to-Student Mentorship Program, you can help a K-Stater explore this exciting time in his/her life.

The ArtSci Alumni-to-Student Mentorship Program is open to all current graduate and undergraduate students, including students enrolled in the College of Arts and Sciences through Global Campus. This program exists within the University-wide online mentorship program, WildcatLink. Students and alumni mentors are welcome and encouraged to utilize the larger platform for networking, but by joining our program, students are better enabled to request industry-specific knowledge from our alumni. In turn, alumni mentors who join this program indicate to our students that they have knowledge and experience relative to our students' academic areas.

To join the ArtSci Alumni-to-Student Mentorship Program, complete the following steps:

Step 1: Visit https://wildcatlink.ksu.edu and click "Join our Community".

Step 3: Select join as "Alumni and Friends".
Step 4: Enhance your profile. Students will want to know about your academic and career experiences!
Step 5: Be sure to select the ArtSci Alumni-to-Student Mentorship Program when prompted to select a mentorship program. You are welcome to join multiple programs, should your experience span academic areas in multiple colleges.
Step 6: Get started! You will be able to connect with faculty, staff, and other alumni in the Wildcat Network as soon as you complete your profile. Please note that your profile will undergo a brief screening period before you are added to the ArtSci Alumni-to-Student Mentorship Program.

An additional note for alumni and friends: In order to protect the privacy of students, you will not be able to immediately view student profiles. WildcatLink allows students to initiate contact with alumni and friends. Please be patient with this process. By joining WildcatLink, you are expressing a willingness to mentor our students. Students will be able to view your profile and you'll be receiving requests for mentorship sooner than you might expect! You can adjust your availability to mentor students when completing your application and this may be updated at any time.
