How The Program Works
For student mentors
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 scheduling conflicts or do not have stable access to video conferencing at these times will need to participate in a different session of the program.
For staff and faculty mentees
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.
