Stanford Alumni Mentoring (SAM) is the first Stanford campus wide online mentoring program that connects students with alumni for career planning and goals. In particular, SAM hopes to bring together students who have begun to think about what they want to do after college with experienced alumni who are eager to share their insights about life after Stanford.

SAM utilizes the broad experiences of Stanford alumni to help students develop their career goals and gain a realistic perspective of life beyond Stanford. SAM provides alumni with the opportunity to reconnect with the Stanford community and share with students their extensive experiences in the world after college.

SAM is sponsored by the Career Development Center (CDC), and works in conjunction with the Stanford Career Network to provide a comprehensive set of resources for students to gain career guidance and advocacy through our alumni.
