Join us for our inaugural event to kick off the Ivy Circle Mentoring Lite initiative!

The Mentoring Lite program is a new Ivy Circle initiative that provides “low barrier” mentorship and support for all Ivy Circle alumni looking for career, creative, entrepreneurial, or life advice from experienced Ivy Circle members.

Ivy Circle members can contact mentors for informal one-on-one conversations or coffee chats regarding their professional and personal aspirations.

Leverage the Ivy Circle’s incredible network of seasoned Ivy Circle alumni who live in The Netherlands and have expertise in a wide range of industries, roles, and skills, or pay it forward and become a mentor in your specialties as well!

Our inaugural event will start with a panel featuring some of our Ivy Circle mentors who have generously volunteered their time to help mentees, moderated by Ivy Circle chairperson Hollis Kurman. The panel will be followed by networking ‘speed dating’ and drinks - a great opportunity to connect with our Ivy Circle mentors (and each other)!

Please register your interest and RSVP via filling out the form on our website.

***This event is open to prospective mentors as well as mentees!***

We were delighted to host this year’s Dinner & Dialogue together with the Ivy Circle Advisory Board and Board, joined by the US Consul General and our new Advisory Board member Lindsey Rothenberg, who shared her thoughtful insights on current affairs and America 250. Advisory Board Chairman Willem Stevens also took the opportunity to share reflections from his recently released book on his 60 years of leadership of the European Harvard Law School alumni organization.

As always, the evening was a wonderful opportunity for the Ivy Circle community to come together, exchange ideas, and celebrate the bonds of shared background, interests, and friendship. Thank you to all who attended for making it such a memorable evening!
