The College of Health and Human Development Mentoring Program: Becoming a Mentor

The College of Health and Human Development Mentoring Program connects HHD students and alumni by matching students with professionals in their field(s) of interest who can offer advice and information about career options or other issues relevant to particular fields.

NOTE: At this time, we are no longer accepting alumni applications for the Mentoring Program.
If you are interested in mentoring a student in the future, please contact please contact Diane Collins at dvc1@psu.edu.

All mentors are required to attend a Mentoring Kickoff Dinner and Workshop where you will have the opportunity to meet your student protege in person, learn more about the mentoring program, and work with your protege to develop goals and action steps for participation in the program.
