Saints Connect: Learning from Those Who Lead

Alumni have the opportunity to speak with the entire Upper School community. In these gatherings, you can reflect on the lessons learned at St. Anne’s-Belfield—on the court, on the stage, in the classroom, and in leadership positions—and share how peers, teachers, and experiences here shaped your journey. These talks offer students a powerful reminder that the values and habits they’re building now can help them thrive in college, careers, and life.

Saints Connect: Mentoring in Clubs & Classrooms

Alumni are invited to share their expertise directly with student clubs and interest groups. For example, an analyst might Zoom into an Investment Club meeting to walk students through the world of startups and finance, while an artist could meet with students exploring visual arts to discuss how St. Anne’s-Belfield prepared them for college and a creative career. Whether virtually or in person, these conversations give students a firsthand look at how Saints before them have built meaningful paths in their fields of interest.

Please contact Sandra Sohne-Johnston and Anni Quinn for more information.

Job Shadowing Day 

Alumni may give back in a meaningful through our new “Saints Shadow a Saint” program. By hosting a Grade 11 or 12 student for a morning, afternoon, full day, in-person, or virtually, you provide students with a firsthand look at your profession, insight into potential career paths, and the chance to ask questions and gain inspiration. Your participation helps students build skills, curiosity, and confidence for college and beyond while demonstrating that their ambitions are achievable.

Each spring, the College Counseling Office offers juniors the chance to practice interviews as part of their college counseling curriculum. Parent and alumni volunteers conduct 15–20 minute interviews (in person or via Zoom) and provide constructive feedback to help students strengthen resumes, practice self-reflection, and build skills for college, scholarship, and job interviews.

Ideal interviewers have experience conducting interviews, whether as alumni representatives, scholarship panelists, or professional hiring managers, and can connect thoughtfully with students, adapt their style to support different confidence levels, and offer specific, encouraging feedback. Your insight will help students gain the confidence and clarity they need to shine in future interviews.
