Opportunities/Plugs
IEEE’s Alumni Mentorship Program (AMP) Sign-up!
The Alumni Mentorship Program applications are now open to all IEEE members! This program aims to inspire current IEEE members through the guidance of IEEE alumni from Electrical Engineering and Computer Science fields. You will be matched to a mentor who can best provide advice on what you need, and get to know other mentees with similar goals/interests as you.
Fall Quarter: Alumni panels (topics ranging from grad school to career paths)
Winter Quarter: Get paired and meet your mentor and fellow mentees
Spring Quarter: More socials and mentoring :)
