Peer Mentor ProgramOne of the services the Atlantic Centre is offering this summer is an opportunity to connect with an older SMU student to help you transition into university life successfully. Through our Mentoring Program, students are put in contact with one other student who is there to answer any questions you may have about Saint Mary's such as information about the campus or how to register for courses. Over the summer months and into the school year you are able to communicate through e-mail as well as face to face interactions with your mentor. If you are interested and would like to find out more about this opportunity, please contact Emily, Mentoring Program Coordinator at smumentors@gmail.com Please visit the Peer Mentoring webpage for more information! |
