Rise Together Mentor Network
The Rise Together Mentor Network is a web-based platform connecting Brandeis alumni to their fellow graduates and current students. This university-wide initiative provides a place for Brandeisians all over the world to connect and have more robust interactions about careers, networking, professional development, the world of work, and much more.
Now more than ever, the Brandeis network is harnessing the power of community to help guide, support, and encourage one another through the various stages of career development and beyond.
