Even with a campus career and professional development center that has expertise in resume crafting and job placement at his disposal, Kirkov needed a little something extra. What he found was a voice who had experienced much of the same things, and he found it through the Student-Athlete Alumni Mentoring Program.

Ferris, a football alum, often returns to campus for Saturday football games, networking events or engagement opportunities with business classes.

In an effort to give back, she now provides her time and wisdom to a place that helped shape her professional journey. Currently a research scientist with a Ph.D. in chemical engineering, Graham didn’t want to miss the opportunity to give back in a personal way.

Seacat DeLuca was not only a standout in an academic program sparse with females and American born students but also a two-sport athlete for the Tartans excelling on the basketball and volleyball courts.
