Find a Mentor

The key to success on Eagle Exchange is actively reaching out to alumni. You have access to search for and message any alum on the platform. 然而,校友没有机会搜索和联系作为学生的你. Therefore, it is up to you to send the first message.

How to:

  • Go to the “Explore the Community” tab to view a list of alumni on the platform. 
  • Use the filters to narrow down your search. You can filter by industry, major, class year, and more. 根据您正在寻找的帮助,您还可以根据帮助主题进行筛选. 
  • 一旦你找到一个有趣的校友,点击他们的个人资料中的消息按钮. 你可以制作自己的信息,或者选择一个预先写好的模板,让它成为你自己的. 
  • You can choose to request a meeting or simply send a message. If you do request a meeting, 你需要选择一个你想讨论的话题,并决定你想如何见面(电话), video, etc.). 
  • Click send and monitor your email to wait for a reply. Eagle Exchange will prompt alumni to respond to you within a timely manner. 
  • You may come across an alum that you are not able to send a message to. 校友可以根据他们一次能够帮助的学生数量来设定配额. If you find you can’t send a message, the alum is at their quota. You will need to wait a week or two before messaging them.
