Join us for JMC Alumni Homecoming Week!
In honor of FSU's Homecoming Week, we’re hosting "JMC Alumni Week," where you can catch up with old friends, make new connections, and enjoy a relaxed evening with other alumni.
Check out the events happening below during the week of October 27th, 2025.
Wednesday, October 29th
October Mentor Night
6 to 8 PM | Jim Moran Building | 111 South Monroe Street
The Jim Moran College of Entrepreneurship hosts a Mentor Night on the last Wednesday of each month, from 6:00 pm to 8:00 pm, in the Jim Moran Building downtown.
Our goal is to foster meaningful mentoring relationships between FSU student entrepreneurs and experienced business leaders from the community. Each session includes student presentations where they share background information about their ventures and identify their top three business challenges. Mentors then offer feedback, guidance, and actionable advice to help students grow and succeed.
Join us to connect, collaborate, and strengthen Tallahassee’s entrepreneurial ecosystem!
Drinks and apps will be provided.
