The Forever Buffs Network Mentorship Program is an opportunity for CU Boulder alumni and students to foster meaningful relationships that will set the mentees up for success in their future careers and life beyond CU. The program includes both alumni-to-alumni mentorship and alumni-to-student mentorship, enabling alumni to share their professional and personal experience and expertise with current students and young alumni. The only requirement is that participants register in the Forever Buffs Network. 

This year’s mentorship program will also feature subgroup opportunities that offer more specialized community-focused resources and engagement along with all the regular mentorship program benefits. 

2022–23 Mentoring Subgroups:

  • The College of Engineering and Applied Science

  • The College of Media, Communications and Information
