Engagement Opportunities
Alumni in Residence
This program gives students and faculty the opportunity to interact with highly-accomplished alumni through guest lectures, lunches and informal meetings over the course of a full or half day.
One-to-One Matched Mentoring
For college students, having a mentor or an experienced role model to cultivate their talent and provide ongoing support can make a life-changing impact on both their academics and post-collegiate futures. Through NovaNetwork, the College provides a robust mentoring platform to match students with available alumni mentors; the platform provides tools and resources to support both mentors and mentees.
Immersion Experiences
Connect with students during one of our week-long immersion trips. Villanova on the Hill brings students to Washington, D.C., to learn about the policymaking ecosystem, and Villanova on Set introduces students to alumni leaders in Hollywood.
