Signature Programs and Events

1969 Club Alumni Mentorship Program

The 1969 Club Alumni Mentorship Program aims to prepare students for a successful future and create a lasting impact on the UCF community.

What sets this program apart? Students and alumni are matched based on professional development skills that the student has a desire to learn and the alumnus/a has the expertise to teach. Whether it is networking, resume review or how to nail that next interview, this program is designed to be a meaningful experience that helps you develop and hone marketable skills.

The 1969 Club Mentorship Program is open to all students and alumni.
