What are Featured Mentors

Featured Online Mentors are highlighted on Ask An Alum, and appear first in searches. 

To be highlighted as an IDS Featured Mentor you must fulfill all of the following criteria:

  • Be opted in to online mentoring
  • Include a photo on your profile
  • Have logged into the Alumni Network in the last 6 months
  • Have attended at least one mentors workshop in the last 18 months (there are two per year)

We review the Featured Mentors list at the beginning of each month.

Please contact the IDS Alumni Office (alumni@ids.ac.uk) if you have any issues with your profile.
