The 黑料老司机 Buddy Mentorship Program is for you!
This program seeks to facilitate communication and peer-to-peer relationships, while easing the transition to university life as a first-year student. This program is open to ALL incoming students, international, Canadian and exchange.
How the program works:
- You and three other new students (mentees) will be matched with two mentors, one International and one Canadian, to create groups or pods.
- Pods are encouraged to connect and communicate over the summer months and into the first semester, to begin building relationships and cultivate a sense of belonging.
- Pods will foster cross cultural learning, broadening of global perspectives and allow for international students to make important connections with Canadian students to better understand Canadian culture.
Program objectives:
- Facilitate communication and peer-to-peer relationships.
- Ease the transition to university life for new students.
- Promote cross-cultural communication and learning.
- Connect Canadian, international and exchange students, encouraging community building and engagement.
