When you sign up for Lion Link, you gain insights and connections that can help you advance your personal and professional goals. It also allows more seasoned professionals the opportunity to share their insights and experiences with fellow alumni interested in learning about their industry. Lion Link is not intended as a job placement service but is offered as a tool for alumni seeking advice and mentorship. When you reach out to a fellow alumna/alumnus, be upfront about what you hope to give and gain. You will be asked how you are willing to help or how you would like to be helped when you sign up for Lion Link.

There is no minimum commitment and we hope that both the mentor and mentee are clear about their time expectations from the beginning. Mentors share their insight and experiences with mentees who are new to or thinking about a career in the mentor’s field.

To perform a search in the directory, type a name, company name, industry or other search term next to the magnifying glass in the search field.

Groups allow alumni a place to connect around a shared industry or location. Post industry or location specific questions to the feed, invite others to events, etc.

Some groups are set up to automatically enroll new Lion Link users who fit the group criteria. For example, users who live in the Bay Area will automatically join the “Bay Area Alumni” group. Alumni who select banking, financial services, investment banking, or investment management will automatically join the “Alumni in Finance” group.

To request new groups, email alumni@lakesideschool.org.

To remove yourself from a group, go into that group, click on the arrow next to “joined” under the banner photo, and select “exit group.”
