Kenneth C. Rowe Management Building, Dalhousie UniversityHALIFAX - Beginning in 2008, East Coast Connected will partner with Career and Alumni Services at the Faculty of Management, Dalhousie University to offer mentorship opportunities to graduates moving to Toronto.

"We're very excited to be kicking off our mentorship program by working with Dalhousie" said Kevin McSweeney, Director of University Relations for East Coast Connected.

"This is the first step in a larger mentorship program that will eventually provide mentorship opportunities to students attending universities across Atlantic Canada" said McSweeney.

JoAnne Akerboom, Director with Dalhousie Management Career Services also sees benefits to the program. "Dalhousie students can get a leg up by having a mentorship program in place with an Atlantic Canadian already living in Toronto before moving there themselves. This program may also assist our graduates with awareness of the opportunities to return to Atlantic Canada down the road."
