Ram Alumni Mentoring Program (RAMP)

The Ram Alumni Mentoring Program (RAMP) matches undergraduate and graduate students with a Suffolk alumni who will support with personal, academic, and professional success in a five-month one-to-one mentoring partnership.

Mentors can make all the difference in your career. They provide a trusted perspective, while offering seasoned advice on your career development, education, and life in general. RAMP can help you find yours.

Program Details

Students in every major and year in the College of Arts and Sciences and the Sawyer Business School, undergraduate and graduate, and alumni from any major or field may participate.
Interested mentors and mentees must submit a RAMP application by the program’s fall deadline. The short application asks questions related to:

  • Your career interests and background
  • Your Career Community preference (this information will be used in our mentor-mentee matching process)
  • Your goals as a mentor or mentee entering the program

Applications for the 2024 – 2025 academic year must be received by November 1, 2024. The RAMP mentoring partnerships run from December 3, 2024 to May 1, 2025.

Mentors and mentees are required to complete a pre-recorded RAMP Orientation Session. This session will take place during the fall semester and can be completed virtually, on demand. An advisor will be available to provide in-person guidance if necessary.

You will receive an email from one of our Career Community advisors confirming your mentor-mentee pairing.

RAMP mentorships are designed to last until the end of the spring semester. This does not mean that the partnership must end, but it is a good opportunity to have a final meeting to discuss what you each gained from the partnership and what goals were met.

Mentors and mentees will also be asked to share their feedback twice: in the middle of and at the conclusion of the program. This information helps us further develop and expand the program for future RAMP cohorts.
