Mentor Program

Are you a current student or recent graduate of UIC's College of Urban Planning and Public Affairs? Or a CUPPA alumnus looking to give back? Sign up for the CUPPA Alumni Association's Mentor Program!

The CUPPA Alumni Association will work to connect current students with alumni who share professional interests and experiences. Once connected, you can talk with an alumni mentor to decide how frequently you want to meet and what types of conversations would be most helpful, whether it's resume reviews, informational interviews or regular check-ins.

In 2022, we transitioned the mentor program to UIC Connected, a virtual networking platform exclusive to the UIC community, creating a community of professionals who share a UIC experience.  To register, go to connected.uic.edu to build a profile. Then search the CUPPA Alumni Association Mentoring Program under Programs, or go directly to bit.ly/CUPPAmentors to join.
