The NEW SMA Alumni Mentor Program
The mission of the SMA Alumni Mentor Program is to provide a way for students and alumni to have an honest dialogue about career goals and expectations, internships and jobs, and the benefits and challenges of marine affairs professions. We received more alumni mentor applications than we had student mentees to match with. This is a testament to the generosity of SMA alumni! Seven-second year students were matched with seven SMA alumni based on areas of mutual career interest.
