Become a Mentor

The Mignone Center for Career Success (MCS) Firsthand Advisors platform connects alumni with current students through “flash mentoring.” It is a flexible way to engage with Harvard students on your own schedule while keeping your personal information confidential. Alumni can join the Creative Careers Group, moderated by MCS and OFA, to advise students interested in careers in the arts.
