First Year Mentorship Program
The first year mentorship program pairs first year students with an upper year mentor along with a couple of other first year students to talk about academics, professional development, and the transition to life at Waterloo. We will also offer videos with tips and tricks from upper years on YouTube, and live Q&A Sessions on a range of topics. Anyone in engineering is welcome to join!
