Connecting with UNC Computer Science Alumni:
The UNC Computer Science Alumni Mentoring Program was created in the Spring of 2019, as a result of strong student interest in being more engaged with industry and the need for them to have guidance in the next steps post-graduation. Since then, there have been several iterations, now leading to an informal career networking program (UNC CS Career Connections) where CS majors and alumni can connect.
