🌟 Benefits of Becoming an Alumni Mentor

The COACH Mentoring Program provides Hanover alumni with a meaningful way to share their professional and personal experiences with current students—and leave a lasting legacy. These connections help students navigate uncertainty, discover their strengths, and prepare for what’s next.

Without alumni like you, we wouldn’t have been able to grow COACH to this level of mentorship. Your dedication has transformed the program into a thriving network of guidance, encouragement, and Panther pride.

Why Mentorship Matters

As an alumni mentor, you can offer:

  • 🎓 Academic and career guidance based on real-world experience
  • 🤝 Personal development support—from leadership growth to work-life balance
  • 💡 Insightful advice on managing change, overcoming setbacks, and building resilience

No matter your location or schedule, there’s a way for you to contribute.


✨ A More Flexible & Personalized Approach

With the new HanoverConnect Mentoring Module, becoming a mentor has never been easier—or more tailored to your life.

As a mentor, you’ll now be able to:

  • ✅ Set your preferences—from one-time resume reviews to long-term career mentoring
  • 📅 Control your availability and update your interests anytime
  • 💬 Communicate directly with students through the platform
  • 📚 Access tools and resources to guide conversations
  • 🔔 Receive reminders about engagement and suggested matches

The frequency and format of your mentoring—whether monthly calls, email check-ins, virtual meetings, or in-person visits—are entirely up to you and your mentee. You're in control of the experience.


🧭 Make an Impact from Anywhere

Whether you’re right down the road or halfway around the globe, you have something valuable to offer. Hanover is still A Place to Belong. A Person to Become. And now, it’s easier than ever to connect and contribute—no matter where life has taken you.

We invite alumni from all walks of life to be part of the COACH Mentoring Program and help shape the future of Hanover students, one conversation at a time.
