Mentoring and peer support

Find a mentor
No one is better equipped to support you in your studies and life at university than our student mentors. They can answer your questions and help you with a given task, based on your interests, your hometown or country, your program, or even your preferred language. They’re just waiting for you to contact them: you get to decide what role they’ll play at your side!
If you’re a Canadian student, check out the Regional Mentoring Centre.
If you are an international student, visit the International Mentoring Centre.

Living learning and themed communities
No matter what you are studying, participation in a Living Learning Community or Themed Community is a great opportunity to connect with your peers and develop your community – beyond the classroom!

Meet new people
There are plenty of sports and social activities on campus and in the National Capital Region where you can meet new people.
