Gaels Go Further Mentoring Program and Course

As advisement opens, consider enrolling in the Gaels Go Further Mentoring Program! This one-credit, Pass/Fail, Mentoring and Career Exploration course is one of several opportunities offered through the Gaels Go Further Mentoring initiative and takes one semester to complete.

Students in this course are paired with an alumni mentor who will provide career guidance and support. Faculty and staff also facilitate workshops on topics such as how to write a professional resume, how to write a cover letter that stands out, best practices for interviewing and more. If you’re interested in registering for the course for the Fall 2025 semester, the course name and number in PeopleSoft is CDS-1200 (Cross Disciplinary Studies). 

For questions about this course or other Gaels Go Further offerings, please email Matthew Ricker at mricker@iona.edu.

Temporary Parking Reduction on Campus, 5/22

Due to Iona Preparatory School’s 106th Annual Commencement Ceremony taking place in Hynes Arena on Thursday, May 22, parking in the campus garage will be limited to guests. Parking in the remaining campus lots will not be affected.

As a gentle reminder, students may park in the Columba Lot only after 4 p.m.
