GARNET - Geo-Alumni Resource Network
The launch of the GARNET program will be in January 2020.
ALUMNI
Surrounding yourself with well-chosen mentors can dramatically change your life. A mentor is someone with vast experience or unique talents, who is willing to share ideas.
As a GARNET Mentor you will provide information on your career to a current Geological Sciences & Geological Engineering student. You will help answer career-based questions, providing insight into the job market for recent graduates. Mentors should be young GEO- alumnus, having graduated from the Department of Geological Sciences & Geological Engineering within the last ten years. You will be paired with a mentee based on your area of career experience and the mentee’s area of interest at the discretion of the GARNET Coordinator.

STUDENTS
How It Would Work:
After a brief introductory meeting with the coordinator of the GARNET program, you will be matched up with a Queen’s Geo-Alumni who has similar interests as you, if possible. Your mentor will be available to interact with you (via email, skype, etc.) once a month to answer any questions you may have. We ask that you respect the time of the mentor and make sure to have some good questions to ask. If they do not get a chance to respond to all of them, please respect their time and save your questions for the next conversation, which you are responsible for setting up with the mentor.
Guest Speaker Series
Within the Garnet program, there will be a Speaker Series featuring visiting speaker talks and seminars. The inaugural Garnet Speaker Series will feature Alex Wood, Class of 2016. Alex will be speaking on January 17, 2020 at 10:30 am in MIL 201. He is going to give a short talk about his career and his journey from a grad of 2016 where he is today. He will be answering questions about this so plan on attending.
