Advising
Our Health Professions Advisor, Dr. Richard Aronson, advises students who are considering a careers in health. He, along with all other members of the Loeb Center, works with students to help them find key internships and career opportunities and reach their academic and professional goals.
Mentoring
In addition to Loeb Center resources, Amherst College’s Pathways mentoring program allows students considering careers in arts and communications to engage with alumni who work across sectors in advertising, media relations and public policy, journalism, marketing, arts administration, digital media, music and more. Through formal mentor-mentee relationships, students connect with alumni they choose around academic, professional, and personal life goals.
In addition, we are proud of our Peer Mentoring Pre-Health Program. This program matches third and fourth-year students with underclassmen to support them through the start of their pre-health journey.
