Mentor a Spec Staffer

We are looking for alums to volunteer a few hours over the year to mentor a member of the Spectator staff or a recent graduates.

We don’t just seek journalists as mentors. Everyone is welcome, as not all Spectator staffers want to move on to full-time careers in journalism. Spec has reporters and editors, but it also has programmers, advertising sales reps, social media specialists, photographers and designers/graphic artists. Any alum who would be willing to speak with a student or recent graduate a few times per year is warmly welcomed to serve as a mentor.
