The mentoring networks at KU provide a forum for individuals to share their knowledge and life experiences with other Jayhawks.
KU Mentoring+ is coordinated by the KU Alumni Association in partnership with the School of Business, School of Engineering, School & Architecture & Design, and the College of Liberal Arts & Sciences.
KU Mentoring was launched in 2018 and since that time nearly 14,000 Jayhawks have joined the community.
As we continue to add opportunities and resources for you to connect, we are excited to announce more than a dozen new career and affinity groups that you can join to build community with alumni and students who share your interests and identities.

Check out our new groups and be among the first to join. You’ll need to create an account and log in to view the groups. Once you’re logged in, choose “Groups” and then “All Groups” to see all the options.
If you are interested in volunteering for these groups, check out our Volunteer page.
While mentoring is the bedrock of the platform, users also network, look for jobs, join groups, post and answer discussion questions and learn about professional development opportunities.
To better communicate these opportunities to alumni worldwide, KU Mentoring is now KU Mentoring+, the home of Jayhawk mentoring, career connections and communities.
KU Mentoring+ is open to students, alumni, faculty and staff, and friends of the University of Kansas. Professionals who are looking for opportunities to connect with KU and provide assistance to Jayhawks are also welcome.
Non-alumni mentors are welcome. If there is a known connection to the University of Kansas, requests to join will be approved.
If there is not a known or visible connection, non-alumni mentors will be contacted for more information.
We accept mentors from all career and experience levels. Our program includes mentors in the local Lawrence/Kansas City area, across the region, and around the world.
We welcome e-mentoring over email, phone, video chat, text message, or social media.
KU Connect, also known as “flash mentoring” is a collection of alumni and professionals in the mentoring platform. Students can select the KU Connect tab to connect with individuals with relevant interests and experience.
This program allows mentors and mentees to meet for a one-time, 30-minute session via email or in person to discuss specific career and/or industry topics.
Discussion threads are available to registered users in the KU Mentoring+ platform. Questions can be posted by any member of the platform; however, questions may or may not be approved at the discretion of the platform’s administrator.
The discussion section is a great place to ask general questions. Recent examples include questions about a specific industry or employer, as well as general questions about how to interact with potential employers at a career fair.
Under the resources section of the KU Mentoring+ platform, users can find mentoring guides and other resources. The mentoring guides section includes documents to assist mentors, such as a mentorship worksheet, goals worksheets, and a mentor handbook.
The resources section contains helpful articles about setting goals and making the most of your mentorship.
