With more than 7,000 Brown alumni and undergraduate students, the Brown Women’s Launchpad (WLP) is a multigenerational community dedicated to professional development, networking, and growth.

This mentorship community provides a space for both mentors to share insights about their personal and professional paths and mentees to provide alumni with a direct and active way to connect with the Brown community.

All members of the Brown community are welcome to apply to this cohort, which centers the experiences of women and those who identify as female.

The Women’s Launchpad is one of several mentoring cohorts within the Mentoring Launchpad, facilitated by the Center for Career Exploration and the Office of Alumni Relations. To apply, fill out the Mentoring Launchpad application on BrownConnect+. Mentors and mentees will be connected with the mentorship cohort that best aligns with their expertise, life experiences, and availability.

To be considered as a mentor or mentee for the Women’s Launchpad, please apply by October 17.

Mentees

Meet monthly with an alum who aligns with your needs and interests, from personal identities to professional achievements. Organically grow your network by attending professional development workshops.

Mentors

During the academic year (September through April), meet monthly with an undergraduate student or recent alum to explore topics like self authorship, establishing yourself in a new city, applying for internship, choosing a concentration, and more.
