Knight Nursing Alumni Mentorship Program
The Knight Nursing Alumni Mentorship Program is operated by the College of Nursing Alumni Chapter, and is a program that pairs undergraduate students with experienced UCF alumni working in similar areas of interest within the field of nursing. Mentors meet with students monthly on their own schedule and serve as advisors, share experiences and provide new perspectives for the benefit of graduating seniors as they transition into the role of alumni and into their career. This program runs from September through April each year and applications are accepted year round.
