The Faculty of Science mentoring program pairs motivated 2nd year and above, full-time undergraduate students, with an established professional who will help students gain experience and provide avenues for career and personal development.
To ensure that your partnership is successful, the program requires that all mentor and mentee pairings commit a minimum of one hour each month to meeting. We encourage you to meet virtually, and touch base regularly by Skype, FaceTime, Zoom, phone, email or social media.
***Note: Because of the Covid -19 situation, all meeting between partners must be virtual.
