Alumni Mentor Program (AMP)

Mentors serve as a professional resource, answering questions, sharing insight on practice norms, and offering support at whatever stage a student is in their journey. The law school matches mentors and mentees based on goals and preferences each mentee identifies in their program profile.
The USF Law community is known for its supportive and inclusive spirit — one where alumni reach back to uplift the next generation as they embark on their legal careers. We hope you'll consider being part of that tradition.

Program Overview

The Alumni Mentor Program is a seven-month formal mentorship program. Each USF student accepted into the program will be matched with one dedicated mentor.

Mentors are USF alumni or USF affiliates with deep ties to the university, our values and mission (e.g. USF executives-in-residence, trustees, board members, etc). All of our mentors are currently working in their professional field and committed to meeting with their mentee(s) monthly to help them reach their goals.

Mentors will be matched with one to three students. The majority of our mentors take on at least two mentees at a time. Mentors, please carefully indicate your preferred number of mentees in your application.

For Alumni Mentors
