There are many ways in which alumni can mentor Penn students!
Join MyPenn (formerly Quakernet)
Through MyPenn, alumni can offer career advice and guidance to students and fellow alumni with career questions. To sign up, visit https://mypenn.upenn.edu and when filling out a profile, be sure to select “Available for Mentorship” so that others can easily find you within the directory.
Join an Alumni-Student Networking Platform
Beyond MyPenn which is the go-to platform for connecting alumni and students with each other, alumni and students can create profiles on these platforms as well and list themselves as available for networking for specific populations and subgroups. These platforms are great ways for students to get the most out of their Penn experience and tap into the vast networks of incredible Penn alum.

Make a Social Media Contribution
Do you have career related thoughts to share with students or other Penn alums? We welcome entries for our Penn and Beyond blog. We also are always seeking alumni who would like to ‘tweet” for a day about their daily work activities through our PennCareerDay twitter feed. Contact Michael DeAngelis at jmdeange@upenn.edu if interested in contributing.
We also welcome alumni to be a guest on our podcast CS Radio. If you are interested in becoming a potential guest (which can be recorded via web conferencing services like Zoom), please contact Michael DeAngelis at jmdeange@upenn.edu.
