MENTORSHIP PROGRAM
The first couple of years in University can be extremely challenging and confusing. Especially if you don't know anyone in the department to ask questions or help you navigate.
Through UPSA’s Mentorship Program, we hope to foster a sense of community within the department and provide various developmental opportunities for both mentors and mentees!
All you need is dedication, focus, and the drive to grow!
The mentorship program has limited space, so sign up while able!
