Selected Pack Leaders proceed through a training program to get ready for the arrival of new students. For questions about Pack Leaders, contact welcome@smu.ca.
Peer Coaches
New students are assigned a Peer Success Coach, an upper-year SMU student who can help you adjust to your life as a student at Saint Mary’s. Coaches contact you via email in early July and invite you to connect on a weekly basis regarding various topics like:

- Getting involved
- How to succeed as a student
Be sure to check your email in early July to connect with your Peer Success Coach. If you haven't heard from your peer coach, email peercoaching@smu.ca with your name and A#.
