The program aims to provide opportunities for scholars to take part in an intensive summer, after-school and Saturday morning academic program that is geared to help students develop skills for university, work and life.
The Student Mentoring Initiative, Mentor Me, utilizes a group-mentoring model that creates opportunities for our women scholars to connect with professional women from a wide range of industries over the course of six years based on the premise that mentoring is not a single event in the life of a student but rather several events. With that in mind each programs is designed to assure the provision of different type of skills and knowledge acquired each successive year.
