Mentorship

The UCF College of Nursing’s Knight Nurse Alumni Mentorship Program pairs nursing alumni with PhD, DNP and BSN students in their senior year as well as Second Degree BSN students  who are looking for guidance as they transition into their nursing careers. As a graduate from the college, you are one of our greatest assets! Your valuable experience and insight when shared with our current student body has a huge impact. We would greatly value your participation and hope that if you do choose to mentor a student, you enjoy an enriching experience while reconnecting with the college and refining your mentorship skills.
The Knight Nurse Alumni Mentorship Program runs from August-July. For more information, please contact nursing@ucfalumni.com.
