Program Overview:

Founded by Stuy alumna YanJie Hou ’06 in 2014, the Stuyvesant Alumni Mentoring Program is a facilitated group-based mentoring program that connects Stuyvesant alumni with the current student body to facilitate individual growth for Stuyvesant students. Over the course of the program, accepted applicants will learn about careers in numerous fields, develop a lasting bond with Stuyvesant alumni, and gain essential skills for success.

The Alumni Mentoring Program wants to provide YOU with the information and insight you need to:

• Market yourself as an unique individual with passions and ambition beyond the statistics of your high test scores and numerous AP classes
• Gain perspective on the college admissions process from a number of alums who have conducted admission interviews with Stuyvesant students for top universities
• Explore careers of different industries such as engineering, medicine, computer science, business, and law
• Learn lifelong professional skills such as marketing yourself in a resume, preparing for interviews, and communicating with adults and other professionals

Most Stuyvesant students do not realize that colleges look beyond a certain high GPA/SAT score. In actuality, college admissions seek students with leadership potential, developed passions, and ambition. They want students who are primed for success – people that know what values are important in life and how to utilize the universities they are applying to further develop their potential.

Furthermore, success in the real world demands more than just pure intellect. Communication, public speaking, social and professional etiquette, and knowledge about different careers are just some of the many knowledge and skill set required in a professional work environment. The Stuyvesant Alumni Mentoring Program is intended to help you develop these key skills.
