Career Mentoring

AlumNet: UAlbany’s Career Network
AlumNet is an online network of UAlbany alumni who have volunteered to provide advice and guidance to students and fellow alumni about career planning. Alumni and students access the Network through UAlbany’s online community. To volunteer, there are two simple steps to follow. First, register for the online community if you haven't already done so. Second, complete a mentoring posting.

To register for the community and sign up online to be a AlumNet volunteer, go to the online community homepage and follow the simple directions to register. Once that's done, click on the "Career Center" link in the navigation bar on the homepage and then click on the "Mentoring" box to create your mentoring profile. It will take less than five minutes. If you’re already registered for the community, go to the homepage and click on the "Career Services" link and then the "Mentoring" box. It’s as simple as that.

How Will I Be Contacted?
The online community is a password protected environment, available exclusively to UAlbany alumni and select students. When you complete your AlumNet posting, you can choose how you would prefer to be contacted initially: by mail, phone or email. If you prefer, you also can hide certain information, such as your name or e-mail address. After searching the database for a good match, a student or alumnus may contact you with questions. It is up to you what form future contact takes: email, phone or in person.

Questions?
If you have any questions, call Melissa Samuels, director of Alumni Programs, at (518) 442-3083 or e-mail msamuels@uamail.albany.edu.
