Science Student Mentors have made a big impact in the lives of first year Science students. Check out perspectives from some of our previous mentees:
“My science mentor showed me ways to get involved by sharing his experience and directing my efforts.”
“My science mentor was an excellent listener, and he was able to connect with me when I was overwhelmed.”
“Being an international student, coming to university in Canada was met with excitement and nervousness. I was very grateful to have a mentor throughout my first year. She was my go-to person. I remember the first day of school when she showed me around campus. She shared study tips, favorite classes, and even her favorite spots to study and eat on campus. I can't thank her enough for everything my Science Mentor has done for me."
Note: Student mentors are not able to assist with questions related to the specifics of program admissions, transfer credits, course prerequisites, and all other academic issues.
