Mentoring Program
Panthers Helping Panthers
The COACH Mentoring Program at Hanover College has long been a cornerstone of our commitment to building meaningful connections within the Panther community. While the program has evolved over the years—from a traditional one-on-one mentoring model to a dynamic, classroom-integrated experience—alumni remain at the heart of its success.
Today, with the launch of the new and improved HanoverConnect Mentoring Module, we're making it easier than ever for alumni to stay involved, update their mentor profile, and support fellow Panthers in meaningful ways.

Mentoring That Meets Students Where They Are
While students now engage with alumni mentors primarily through structured programs like FutureFoundations and resource-based mentoring, your role remains vital. You may be matched to support:
- Career-focused conversations and professional growth
- One-time requests, like resume reviews or industry Q&As
- Identity-based mentoring, including LGBTQIA+, multicultural, international, and student-athlete support
- Personalized career guidance aligned with their year in college and future goals
A Shared Mission
Hanover College's mission—to foster lifelong inquiry, transformative learning, and meaningful service—extends beyond the classroom. The COACH Mentoring Program embodies this by giving alumni the opportunity to:
- Share hard-earned wisdom
- Build mentoring and leadership skills
- Create lasting, cross-generational connections
Whether you have 30 minutes or ongoing time to commit, your presence in the program can make a significant impact.
