Broadview Mentor Program

Become a role model and boost the confidence of a current Purchase College student! Share your experiences with someone who is looking for support about making good decisions in school, starting a career, and developing social skills.

The Broadview Mentor Program via a mentoring/networking online platform (Firsthand.com offered through the Career Development Center & Alumni Relations) connects Broadview residents who have worked in a variety of fields with current students for one-on-one conversations about careers, academics, internships, work, life experiences, and more. Purchase students can investigate and explore their career interests in conversations and connections with a growing Broadview network—offering an insider’s view to potential academic, professional, and career options.

The mentor-mentee relationship is about career professionals offering friendly guidance and encouragement to an up-and-coming generation. It’s based on mutual respect and openness. It’s a two-way street — mentors often say they learn as much as they teach while making a difference in the lives of young professionals.
