The Vision
Connect Alum is founded on the belief that every high school student deserves access to guidance, mentorship, and advice that can illuminate their path toward future academic and career achievements.
Our vision is to create a nurturing ecosystem where students can connect with alumni who have walked the path they are embarking on, offering a relatable and insightful perspective to help navigate their journey. By fostering these connections, we aim to empower students with the confidence, knowledge, and network they need to explore their interests, make informed decisions, and achieve their full potential.
we strive to build a community of motivated individuals who are eager to give back and support the next generation. Connect Alum is about creating lasting bonds that benefit both mentors and mentees, fostering a cycle of continuous learning, growth, and contribution.
The Makers
The founders of Connect Alum, a group of forward-thinking computer science students at Washington University in St. Louis, are driven by a passion for leveraging technology to make a meaningful impact on education. Recognizing the gap in accessible mentorship for high school students, we set out to create a platform that bridges this divide.
Our journey is one of collaboration, innovation, and a shared vision for a world where every student has the support and guidance they need to succeed.
