Opportunities From: University of Denver

We're looking for CWC/TWC alumnae who are interested in becoming CWC/TWC Network Leaders. A CWC Network Leader is an alumna who works alongside other CWC/TWC alumnae in partnership with DU to create ongoing, meaningful engagement opportunities and helps strengthen bridges between their network and the University. 

As a CWC/TWC Network Leader, your activities support DU's global networks by facilitating meaningful communications, connections, experiences, and volunteer leadership opportunities to ensure the ongoing engagement with the CWC community in your network. 

A CWC/TWC Network Leader's responsibilities can be as little or as much as you want them to be! You can work with a group of other CWC/TWC Network Leaders and volunteers in a variety of ways that fit your schedule and interests, such as the following: 

Form an informal network committee with other CWC/TWC Network Leaders to bring consistent engagement to your regional CWC/TWC cohort Attend quarterly Network Leaders calls to get campus news and information on upcoming events, help brainstorm new ways to connect and engage your network, as well as connect with other DU Network Leaders across the country. Engage with and support current CWC Leadership Scholars students Organize in-person or virtual CWC alumnae events (e.g., study abroad reunions, social hours, community events) Provide mentorship to current students or recent graduates of the CWC Leadership Scholars Program Help us clean-up CWC data - make phone calls, send emails or snail mail to gather up to date information on CWC/TWC sisters Engage with the CWCAA board

 

Colorado Women’s College (CWC) Leadership Scholars serves undergraduate women at DU who are first-generation college students and/or from historically marginalized communities. They receive financial assistance and leadership programming to help them succeed during their time at DU.

We are seeking caring individuals to connect and build relationships with scholars in the program. The mentor program is a year-long commitment that provides the mentor and mentee the flexibility to decide mutually on both the timing and the content of meetings.

Mentors will meet regularly with their mentees to:

Share information about their own educational journey, obstacles and challenges, and ways they have been able to navigate these challenges successfully. Explore and discuss different career paths, community engagement opportunities, and their “passion to purpose” aspirations. Assist with interview preparation, resume and cover letter review, and/or career mentoring. Facilitate community building and leadership development. Assist them with accessing and/or understanding how to use the resources at the University of Denver.

We ask that mentors make a commitment for one academic year and meet at least twice per quarter with their mentees. 

Meetings can take place in person, virtually via Zoom, or on the phone, depending on your preference and schedule. Express interest and we will be in touch with more information and next steps!
