Now here is a word from Denise Trionfero Director of Higher Education Opportunity Program @ SU
Dear HEOP Alum,
It is our pleasure to invite you to attend the 2010OSS Student/Alumni Networking Event. The purpose of this event is to bring current OSS students together with OSS Alumni in a comfortable setting. The event will include an Alumni Panel Presentation and is also a great opportunity for students to establish potential contacts and/or mentors and learn about the transition from college to work or graduate school. It is our hope that these exchanges will provide students with insight regarding what they may encounter once they leave Syracuse University and help them chart their post-graduate career path. It is also a time to reconnect with fellow Alumni and staff from HEOP and SSS.
The 2010 OSS Student/Alumni Networking Event will take place during winter break on ThursdayJanuary 14, 2010 from 6:30pm – 8:30pm at the Joseph I. Lubin House, which is located at 11 East 61st Street between Madison and Fifth Avenue in Manhattan. Please RSVP to Denise Trionfero (dvtrionf@syr.edu). Light refreshments will be served promptly at 6:30 pm.
The students and our programs need your support more than ever in these challenging times and we thoroughly appreciate your continued participation with OSS. We firmly believe that your participation will help make this event a success and we look forward to seeing you there.
LANSU celebrates its 5th year in existence with a networking meeting. Bring your friends and make some new ones. We’ll all be there as we come together on a wonderful November evening. Spread the word and enjoy the company. See you there!

Frequently Asked Questions:
1. What is Mentoring?
Mentoring is a one-on-one relationship in which an alumnus provides guidance to a Syracuse University student, who is working towards successful graduation. The mentoring relationship develops as a student requests advice and guidance from a selected assigned faculty or staff member who offers solutions to general academic questions and frustrations. The mentoring relationship is formed outside of regular classroom activity, and within the confines of all institutional policies, rules, codes of conduct, and regulations.
2. What does a mentor do?
A mentor will set up a regular meeting schedule with their mentee . She/he will communicate by email, or have a phone conversation . Discussion topics range from academic successes to other challenges. She/he will provide guidance to their mentees questions and concerns . She/he is to be used as a resource to assist a mentee with navigating their college career and will serve as an introduction to life post-Syracuse University.
3. As a mentor, are there requests that I can deny?
Yes, if a mentee asks you to provide a service that is offered by the college, and it is a service for which you are not directly responsible, you should not agree to provide that service. For example, mentors are not tutors, editors, nor can they negotiate grade with a student’s professor.
Benefits of being a Mentor:
An alumnus’ participation as a mentor is considered a commitment to the institution.
As a mentor, she/he will become a part of positive action that is student-centered. Bonds formed with mentees often last throughout the a student’s academic career. By volunteering, an alum’s energy and enthusiasm will contribute to creating a welcoming and comfortable learning environment for our current Syracuse University students.

“..E-mentoring is a relationship that is established between a more senior individual (mentor)and a lesser shilled or experienced individual (mentee), primarily using electronic communications, and is intended to develop and grow the skills, knowledge, confidence, and cultural understanding of the mentee to help him or her succeed.” -Boyle-Single, P. and Muller, C.
