The Student Ombuds Services (SOS) is an academic student organization in Bethune College that provides peer advising service for York students. It plays a crucial role in the transitional process of students of any year. The SOS particularly caters for the special needs of first year students coming out of high school, who need guidance in getting to know the university from an academic point of view.
Furthermore, the SOS holds seminars and presentations for the student body to give them insight and information about the careers they are thinking about. These information sessions prove to be a great success because they prepare students for what they are going to face and what they need to work on.
The SOS office is a great resource center in itself, housing information on many careers that students may choose after their undergraduate degree. It allows for an easing going environment with peer facilitators so students may drop in with any questions or concerns. Information on prerequisites and the admission process is readily available for various professions. In addition, referrals to campus services and people such as tutors for courses are readily available.
The SOS office located in 208 Bethune is open to all students all the days of the week from 10AM – 4PM.
