Are you in your first year and registered with Accessibility Services? Do you feel you could benefit from meeting with an upper year student to hang out, talk about school and learn some study strategies? The Peer Mentorship Program is for you!
The Peer Mentorship Program is a program run by Accessibility Services that matches up first year students with upper year students to assist with the transition to their first year here at U of T (TYP and Academic Bridging students welcome!). Mentors and mentees meet once a week one on one for about an hour, but there are also monthly group events and weekly group drop-ins for program participants to attend as well. All events are free and are on the U of T St. George campus.
If you are interested in having a peer mentor or you have questions about the program, contact Adina Burden at adina.burden@utoronto.ca or (416)978-8062. To fill out the form to request a mentor, go to this link: http://www.accessibility.utoronto.ca/specialpgms/mentorintro/request.htm.
We hope to see you soon!
