Mentor
UVA Engineering is a partner in the Virginia Alumni Mentoring program, which connects motivated and career-focused students with alumni who can provide insights about the process of choosing and starting a career in their specific field. Sign up for a semester long mentoring match with one student or a one-time flash mentoring session.
Guest Lecture
Share your knowledge with a specific class, department or student group. The format is up to you – formal presentation or informal ‘coffee chat’, but the goal is clear – share your knowledge, expertise, do’s and don’ts with current students on a topic area that aligns with your expertise.
Judge a Competition or Mentor a Team
UVA Engineering students frequently compete at local, regional and national competitions – from the Baja Racing Club to Hoos Flying to the ACC Inventure Prize and more – these students rely on the expertise of Faculty and those in industry to help them perfect their presentation or product.
Career Panel
Join fellow alumni, parents and friends across academia and industry to discuss a certain topic area. Recent panels have focused on unique career paths, building a career in non-profit and career options with a Ph.D., but topic options are endless.
Regional Events
Help us bring a taste of UVA Engineering to your local area by hosting or sponsoring a faculty/alumni networking event in your city.
UVA Clubs
