Stanford Alumni Mentoring (SAM)
Stanford Career Education invites the Stanford Parents’ Club to join their on-line recruitment and mentorship platform SAM. This platform allows alumni, and now parents, to share projects, internships and job opportunities with 13,000 Stanford students and alums. The platform allows you to post a specific job opportunity that you are responsible for or to refer an opportunity that you are aware of.
We especially need internship and job postings for FROSH and HUMANITIES majors, all four years. Paid jobs preferred please. If you have an amazing unpaid opportunity that will open a lot of doors for the student (and you will help them out), post it.
