BCHAN Launches a New Hellenic Mentoring Program
The Leadership Committee of the BC Hellenic Alumni Network (BCHAN) has just developed an exciting new Hellenic Mentoring Network. This program will give alumni members of BCHAN the opportunity to interact with individual undergraduate members of the Hellenic Society. Mentorship is one of the most effective and successful ways to positively influence a college student’s personal and professional development, career trajectory, and in our case, appreciation and understanding of Greek heritage. Today’s BC students are very eager to enjoy such a personal relationship with an alumna/us.
Our plan is to recruit Hellenic alumni volunteers who are willing to make their information available to undergraduate Hellenic Society members who might like to contact you for professional career advice and mentorship, informational interviews, greater understanding of Greek culture and heritage, and/or personal questions. Your time commitment will be kept to a minimum.
If you are interested in volunteering to become a mentor, please fill out this form and return it to Hellenic@bc.edu. If you have any questions, please let us know.
Thank you very much for your consideration.
Sincerely,
Drake Behrakis '86
