While the final two years of Alumni''' willing college is an appropriate time to have mentors when applying to mentor students with different interests jobs, finalizing minors, and participating in other programs, we found that it may also be helpful for first-years can reach out year students to have alumni mentors because many are curious to find a career path to pursue and have short calls/sessions where ambitious career goals that they need to prepare for early on. This alumni directory would be online, and willing undergraduate business alumni can ask questions about careersadd their bios and LinkedIn to the directory. Students would be able to look through the directory and filter alumni by tags to find someone in a role, academicscareer path, etcor company that they’d be interested in learning more about. This service would be specifically targeted at The first-yearsyear students could then schedule a coffee chat with an alum of their choosing, and the alum could share information about their career path, helpful classes and faculty members, helpful programs, their experiences working in both its structure certain fields and filtered informationcompanies, differentiating it from current alumni networksetc.</span></span></span></big></span><br />

We think students have existential anxiety linked to uncertainty surrounding their professional development and what they should be looking to achieve each year at Fordham. To mitigate this problem, we would create a brochure for Gabelli School of Business first-years that will provide a rough roadmap of what they should strive to achieve each year. Short synopses of helpful, career-oriented resources would be included as well.</span></span></span></big></span> <span style="font-size:x-small;"><big><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="text-align: left; color: rgb(29, 28, 29); text-transform: none; text-indent: 0px; letter-spacing: normal; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 700; text-decoration: none; word-spacing: 0px; display: inline !important; white-space: normal; orphans: 2; float: none; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"><span>These pamphlets would hopefully be distributed to students in mass during their first months at the university through career services, PPD (a Gabelli-focused department), first-year faculty, and/or freshmen orientation. The brochures may also include relevant information for students interest in diversity, equity, and inclusion specific resources.</span></span></span></big></span>
