2013 / 4th Annual RAPS-RPA Alumni Networking Event
The RPA Committee would like to inform you that over the past couple of months the committee has strengthened its relationship with Ryerson’s Career Mentorship Program.  This unique program allows experienced professionals working in the planning realm to provide one-on-one mentorship to senior students from Ryerson’s Urban and Regional Planning Program for a four month period.  It is important to note that Career Mentors do not have to be Ryerson Alumni.  Furthermore, this volunteer opportunity is not a big time commitment (i.e. 1-2 h / month) and the Student Mentee can meet the Career Mentor when / where it is most convenient for the Mentor (i.e. meetings can occur during lunch, after work etc.).  RPA’s Career Mentorship Program will be kicked off at our 4th Annual Networking Event on Tuesday, January 22, 2013 at 6:30 PM.  Professionals with experience in the planning realm and graduates from all planning schools are encouraged to RSVP for the networking event via raps@ryerson.ca.
