Simpkins Family COMPASS Program

Cornell Interest Area

College of Engineering

Who we are

The Simpkins Family COMPASS Program connects early undergrads with alumni mentors who provide an experienced engineer's perspective on the teamwork, leadership, and professional skills students should develop. Mentorships are structured through a 2-credit course that teaches critical thinking and decision-making tools that help students determine which opportunities to seek and which to forego as they design their undergraduate experience based on their goals, values, and interests.

The CUeLINKS platform facilitates the COMPASS mentor-mentee matching process. Only Cornell alumni with engineering or technical degrees can be mentors. In order for students to be matched with a mentor, they must be enrolled in ENGRG 1152 Coaching and Mentoring for Professional and Student Success.

Alumni are invited to join the COMPASS mentor pool by creating a CUeLINKS profile and completing the required matching questionnaire.
