Mentor Program

The Oxford Mentor program pairs sophomores with alumni working in their chosen career field. The program encourages an exchange of professional ideas, friendship, and expertise as mentors help students navigate career decisions and network.

Mentors and students commit to connect with one another—by phone, email, or virtually—at least once a month. The program facilitates exploration and development of networking skills, informational interviews, perspective on majors and/or career choice, and possible career shadowing or internship opportunities.

As a collaboration of Oxford's Alumni Relations and Career Services staff, the Oxford Mentor program includes alumni from across the United States.

Each year, students select alumni mentors in the fall. The program officially closes at Oxford’s May Commencement, though many connections last as the students continue on to Emory in Atlanta or other schools.

This fall, Oxford College will use this platform for the Oxford Mentor Program.

Internship Program

The Alumni Internship program pairs Oxford students with internships in the organizations where our alumni work. Through this connection, our students gain invaluable work experience and organizations gain quality interns.

Oxford students work at internships during the academic year in locations in and around Atlanta, and they take advantage of high-profile summer internships for credit at organizations across the United States.
