Mentorship at DU
Dear colleagues,
As we enter a festive season, I want to take a moment to reflect on the importance of mentorship—especially for our students. One of the best ways the DU community can connect is through a mentorship experience. As many of our alumni report, faculty and staff mentors helped them to feel supported, inspired them to think about their future careers, and challenged them to reach their full potential.
Success is a collective endeavor. We each need people in our lives who help guide us to become our best selves. To that end, I invite students, faculty, staff, and alumni to be a part of the student mentorship experience by joining Crimson Constellation. This 4D Experience platform allows the DU community to meet, develop promising new connections, share advice on different career paths, and gain exposure to professional industries.
The Crimson Constellation virtual network currently has over 6k users, including over 4k students, 2k alumni, and around 150 faculty and staff. Register today to serve as a mentor or to connect with a mentor who can help you on your learning and career journey.

A few members shared how much this experience has meant to them:
- One DU alumnus wrote, “(The alumni mentor) provided me with valuable insights from her industry and professional experiences, guided me on how to fit my degree and career in that industry, and provided some ideas of next steps I can take. I am very grateful.”
- A mentor mentioned how valuable participation has been, "Stepping into a meeting with my mentee, I expected to be mostly giving information and experience, but it really was a two-way conversation, and I’m so grateful for how much I got out of it too."
If you would like to know more, the DU Magazine recently published an article about Crimson Constellation: "The People Who Shape Us".
During this season of giving, I encourage our community of students, faculty, and staff to develop new, inspiring relationships through this impactful platform.
Wishing you all the best this winter,
