Dear Stanford Alum,
More students than ever are now attending the Stanford Program in Paris this year, and many of them would appreciate the informal support and welcome Stanford overseas alumni have to give. We know that you as well, often would like to meet up with the students, to keep up active and refreshed contacts with the home campus. In order to bring about this special exchange between students and alumni, we are once again delighted to launch our Mentor Program.
To understand how the program works, you should know that Stanford undergraduates (19-21 years old) spend either one, two or three quarters studying at the Stanford Center in Paris. (30-40 students each quarter) It is up to the alumni to decide the manner in which they can best contribute to the students' experience in Paris.
To help us organize the program effectively, we would be grateful if you could fill out the attached form, which focuses not only on your personal interests and profile, but also on the areas in which you would like to devote a bit of time to the students. We will keep this form for our records. Please return it to us as soon as possible.
Every year, at the beginning of the academic year (September), we will contact you to update your information: your availability, how many students you would like to mentor for the year and during which quarters, your preferred student profiles, etc.
In this way, when the students come to Paris, we can direct them to an available mentor best suited to them.
This project has become one of the highlights of the students’ experience in France, and we hope the exchange will be just as rewarding for you as it is for us.
