MENTORING SIGN-UP | RETURN TO VOLUNTEER OPPORTUNITIES
The department is currently recruiting former student-athletes and alumni supporters to serve as mentors for rising junior and senior student-athletes. Each student will be paired with a member of the GW alumni family to develop a personal and professional networking relationship.

- Completion of program evaluation activities at the end of academic year
Benefits
- Professional and personal satisfaction through empowering a young generation to develop, grow and advance their goals
