Hi Allie,
Thanks so much for Mentorship Connection. I was paired up with Clive, a professional at Silicon Valley. And he was the one who introduced me to social media. I can’t imagine what I’d missed out if we hadn’t talked about social media since my school seems to focus more on traditional PR.

Thanks so much.

I was paired up with a student, Rachel, who will be a rock star in this field. We touched up her resume and application materials, have talked for her blog and now I must get back in touch to find out how her internship is going! Thanks for facilitating, Allie.

Hi Allie! I’m one of the people you set up with a mentor in London- Vikki. Vikki has become a great friend as well as a mentor- she’s given me fantastic advice, and also helped me land my first job! I would not have been possible without you, so thanks for your mentor connection!

Hi Allie! I am incredibly thankful for you reviewing my career interests and matching me up with Heather as a mentor. She was instrumental in helping me land my post-college internship with an ad/pr agency by reviewing my resume and cover letter.

Gloria is a good friend of mine through PRSSA at The University of Iowa and recommended this site to me. I just wanted to drop you a quick note and say thank you for reaching out to help!

Hey there!

I’m one of the people you paired with a mentor! I’m so glad I met mine. We exchanged a few emails and had lunch once. She had so many great insights into the field! She recently moved jobs so I’ve been out of touch with her while she’s been getting adjusted, but I’m planning on getting back in touch with her to expand my professional network.

Thank you for setting up the program, it’s been great for me!
