Alumni-Student Mentorship Program

The Boise State Alumni-Student Mentorship Program is your chance to make meaningful, one-on-one connections that go beyond campus.

As a student, you’ll gain a trusted mentor who can offer guidance and encouragement as you navigate college and prepare for life after graduation. As an alum, you’ll have the rewarding opportunity to share your experiences, give back and help shape the journey of the next generation of Broncos.

Running from October 20, 2025, through April 24, 2026, the program is designed to fit into busy lives while still creating a big impact. Pairs meet about once a month for one to two hours, choosing whatever format works best, making it simple to build relationships that last.
