MENTORS

	WHY DO YOU NEED MENTOR? The adjustment of a new community, new home, new physical space, new freedoms and new academic career can be overwhelming and stressful. Your mentor has recently gone through the same experiences and will be able to guide and facilitate the transition for you and with you, making it easier.

HOW WILL YOUR MENTOR HELP YOU? Your mentors will be the first person to receive and welcome you on campus - into your new community, new space on your new career path They will help you make connections and friendships and assist you in integrating to your new social and academic life. Mentors will also mediate and engage you in meaningful and playful activities that will promote your development and growth, they will listen deeply and actively, and refer you to the people, facilities and resources that you may need as you embark on your university journey.
