ALL PAWS on Deck!

The LSU Vet Med Mentorship Program is an online platform designed to foster meaningful connections within the LSU Vet Med community and beyond. 

Join us for an informational session on March 24th at 5:30 PM to learn more about the platform, the pillars of mentorship, and how you will be involved. Join the session here!

About the Program

This program offers a tailored mentorship experience, allowing mentors and mentees to form impactful, personalized relationships. Whether you’re seeking guidance from someone with similar life experiences or career interests, the platform helps create connections that matter.

Discover how you can make a difference as a mentor or gain guidance as a mentee today!


How it Works

  • Participants register and complete a profile, which typically takes 10 to 15 minutes.
  • Alumni and faculty can sign up as mentors, while veterinary students can participate as mentees.
  • Mentees can search for and request a mentor who aligns with their career interests and goals.
  • Mentors can work with as many mentees as they feel comfortable with, while mentees can have up to two mentors simultaneously.
  • Mentors remain anonymous until a connection is accepted, allowing for privacy and careful matching. Once a mentor accepts a request, both participants collaborate to set goals and preferences for their relationship, including communication methods (phone, video, or in-person meetings) and frequency of connection. 

Please reach out with questions or concerns to vetmedooe@lsu.edu.

How It Works

Create a Profile

Log in with LinkedIn or your email to set up your profile. Share your interests, experiences, and background to give mentors and mentees the right context.

Respond to Request

When someone requests you as a mentor, respond quickly. Other mentees can’t request you while a response is pending.

Connect from Anywhere

Meet your mentee virtually or in person, making it easy to fit into your schedule. Matches remain anonymous until confirmed.
