FGCU Mentoring Program

As a professional, you have experiences and insights that can shape the next generation of Eagles. Mentoring is a rewarding way to give back while strengthening your own professional network.

Benefits of being a mentor:

• Share your knowledge and career journey with a student who can learn from your experience

• Make a direct impact on a student’s academic and professional success

• Develop your leadership and coaching skills

• Stay connected to FGCU and the campus community

• Build a stronger Eagle Network across industries and generations

College is full of decisions—about your major, your career, and your future. A mentor can help guide you through it all with real-world insight and encouragement.

Benefits of being a mentee:

• Get personalized career advice from someone who’s been there

• Gain insight into different industries, roles, and grad school options

• Improve your resume, interview skills, and job readiness

• Grow your professional network before graduation

• Build confidence and learn how to advocate for your goals

• Want to give back by helping students navigate their academic and career journeys

• Can commit to one full semester (fall or spring only) and connect with your mentor/mentee at least twice per month, virtually or in person.

• Have experience in a particular industry, role, or graduate program

• Can offer insight into workplace culture, job searching, or post-college life

• Are excited to build a meaningful, one-on-one connection with a current Eagle

• Live near campus or out of state—mentoring can be virtual or in-person

No previous mentoring experience required—resources and support are provided!
