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.
How it works
We connect you with a group of incoming university students
We assign each mentor a group of incoming students to mentor throughout the summer using email and other digital means.
You mentor them throughout the summer
You will create online communications to educate, inform and engage incoming first-year students between June to August. You will also act as a resource for students to referrals for different university services, important events, deadlines, and more!
