Student Experience Mentorship Program

This unique program gives you the opportunity to mentor a staff or faculty member and share what it is like to be a student at U of T.

All current part-time and full-time U of T students, faculty and staff (St. George campus) are eligible.

Become a student mentor

As a student mentor, you will gain leadership experience and increase your confidence in multi-generational settings. You have important experiences to share and there is a staff or faculty member who wants to learn about them.

One condition of being accepted into the program is that attendance at program activities are mandatory. Students who have conflicts at these times will need to participate in a different session of the program.

Become a staff and faculty mentee

As a staff or faculty member (the mentee), you will be matched with a student and take part in a mentoring relationship that will allow you to see U of T through the eyes of a student.

This program is for staff and faculty members who wish to have meaningful interactions with the “average” student and empower students to take on active roles in their community.

One condition of being accepted into the program is that attendance at program activities are mandatory. Staff and faculty who have conflicts at these times will need to participate in a different session of the program.
