Become an E-Mentor
Support incoming University College students prepare for university by volunteering with our e-mentorship program!
Do you remember the questions, excitement, and fears you had the summer before you began your journey at University College?
Apply to be an e-Mentor to support this year's incoming students prepare for their first year at UC. As an e-Mentor, you will build valuable personal connections with new students, share information about upcoming events, make referrals to campus resources, and answer any questions to assist in the transition to university. e-Mentors will also facilitate online communities in the summer for incoming students to help them get to know one another before starting in the fall.
