Case Study: DePaul University achieves campus-wide alumni mentoring and accelerated student career networking with PeopleGrove

DePaul University - Customer Case Study

DePaul University engaged PeopleGrove to expand its alumni mentoring culture and accelerate career networking for all students. While mentoring was established in the Driehaus College of Business, DePaul needed broader faculty buy‑in and a way to integrate mentoring into undergraduate curricula, so they turned to PeopleGrove’s ASK (Alumni Sharing Knowledge) Network to scale mentoring across campus.

PeopleGrove implemented the ASK Network by partnering with faculty, running classroom and job‑fair coaching sessions, and operationalizing mentorship with three‑step outreach processes, workshops, and course assignments. The PeopleGrove solution scaled quickly—ASK became a required component in courses across multiple colleges—and delivered measurable impact in the form of increased student and alumni engagement, improved student preparation for interviews and fairs, and stronger company connections.
