Become a Mentor to a SPEA Student

The mentor program is a great way for alumni and undergraduate as well as graduate students to connect with professionals who have similar academic backgrounds, career goals, and interests. As a mentor, you can choose just how much or how little you wish to be contacted per month by SPEA students or fellow alumni, how you prefer to be contacted and any other type of activities with which you would like to be involved.

Sponsor or Attend a SPEA Alumni Event

We welcome your attendance at SPEA alumni events around the globe. If we have not made it to your corner yet, talk to us about planning an event with alumni in your area. Events can be networking opportunities, community service activities, family adventures—the possibilities are endless. Send your ideas to the Assistant Director of Alumni Relations Bethan Roberts at speamag@indiana.edu.

Career Panels and Networking Events

Sign up to participate in class lectures, panel discussions or networking events with fellow alumni and students. Sharing your career experiences with a group of SPEA students will inspire them to follow in your worthy footsteps and illustrate how your SPEA education helped you achieve success.
