Alumni-Student Mentor Program Application

The Villanova Law Alumni Association (VLAA) invites alumni and students to apply for the 2025 Villanova Law Mentor Program. This program benefits students with the opportunity to learn from one of our many exemplary Villanova Law alumni, but also provides alums with the rewarding experience of mentoring the next generation of Villanova lawyers. Alumni do not need to reside in the Philadelphia area to serve as mentors.


The deadline to register is Friday, January 10.


Matches will be released by late January. Throughout the year, Villanova will guide alumni through the program and will provide suggestions on how they can best support their mentee.

By participating in the Alumni Mentor Program, I am acknowledging that I have at least one hour a month to spend on this program. Mentee engagement can include communicating with my mentor, meeting with my mentor (in person or virtually) and attending events with my mentor. Additionally, I am committing to being responsive to my mentor and to touching base with Villanova Law if for some reason I can no longer make these commitments.
