Alumni Mentorship Program

The Alumni Mentorship Program (AMP) is your opportunity to connect with other alumni and senior school students to share your skills as a mentor or find support as a mentee

From sharing lessons learned and stories of success, to exploring industry and post-secondary insights, the St. Michaels University School Alumni Mentorship Program (or AMP for short) is your opportunity to connect with other alumni to share your skills as a mentor or support as a mentee.

Available to all SMUS alumni, the program is facilitated through SMUS Connect, the school’s online alumni community. We encourage you to ask questions, share challenges and opportunities, and support one another to see the excellence in all of us.

We also suggest you read the handbook below to get some advice on being a mentor and mentee. For more information contact Denise Rees in our Alumni Relations office.
