Providing career and mentoring support to recent graduates is a priority for Bishop's! At this time JUMP is only being offered to alumni living in Toronto. With support and participation from recent graduates as well as the continued efforts and dedication of the Committee, we hope this program will soon be offered to alumni across the country. I encourage you to read below and learn more about JUMP and how you can participate.
Sincerely,
Matt McBrine, Interim Director of University Advancement
ABOUT THE PROGRAM:
JUMP is a post‐degree mentoring program for recent Bishop's graduates (2007‐2012) working or studying in the Toronto area who are – or who are on the cusp – of entering the professional arena and starting their careers.
JUMP will serve as a platform to learn and share experiences. Our goal is to create a medium for protégés to gain insight from their mentors while developing strategies to maximize their potential. We envision this program as a space for mentors and protégés alike to engage in meaningful dialogue and learning experiences.
