The USG Alumni Mentoring program announces the launch of a new mentoring cycle open to alumni of all U.S. Government-funded exchange programs. This six-month-long mentoring program is a professional development opportunity aimed at connecting senior and junior exchange program alumni to develop professional contacts, network, and explore the vibrant USG Russia Alumni community.
