Mentorship Program

The transition into University life can be difficult and it's often difficult to meet others. It's important to have a group to study with and surround yourself with good company. That's why we've started the Mentorship Program!

The MSA's Mentorship program is designed to help you form study groups and social circles with other first years in your facultyand to link you to upper year students so they can serve as useful resources for you in providing advice and sharing experiences. Throughout the term, we will organize events that focus on your academic life, career planning, social atmosphere and life skills.
