We facilitate a successful mentor program that links alumni with current students.

Mentors and students are matched according to interest and will create a mentoring plan based on mutual expectations. Students will be able to select a mentor based on mutual interest, attributes, and demographics. This program invites alumni to share their professional experiences and encourages MSW students to broaden their network of support. Our mentors are located across the US and Canada.

Please contact Denise Krause at sw-mentor@buffalo.edu to be a mentor and help shape our profession!
