Undergraduate Mentoring Program

The SES Mentoring Program aims to provide mentorship to first-year students entering the School of Environmental Sciences by pairing first-year students with an upper-year (2nd, 3rd or 4th year) mentor, who will act as a resource to answer questions, connect their mentees with University resources and services, and offer social support in order to ease students' transition into university. Mentors and mentees will meet twice a month for 30 minutes through the virtual platform of their choice.
