The UMBAS Mentoring Program is intended to strengthen the connection between band alumni and current band students across the many professions and majors pursued by these groups. It is not intended to replace the collegiate mentoring programs but rather to work along side them, giving more options for students and alumni to interact. Mentoring Relationships are intended to
We encourage any interested Sophomores, Juniors, and Seniors to request a mentor. We encourage Freshman to wait until they have finished their first year before requesting a mentor. There will inevitably be some matches that don’t work out. After both the mentor and student have given their best effort over the course of a month or so, please contact the mentorship team if either of you feel you need to make a change. In addition to individual matching, we are hoping to organize a small number of events over the course of the school year to be open to all band students regardless of school year. We will be providing a formal feedback mechanism at the completion of the school year.
