Are you a new student? You have a Peer Mentor!
All first-year students in the Faculty of Science belong to a mentoring group led by an upper-year student who will be your Peer Mentor throughout your first year.
Throughout the year, your mentoring group will stay connected through:
- Online Community: Dedicated space for your mentoring group to ask questions, connect with your mentor and fellow mentees, and stay up to date with important announcements and resources.
- Meet-Ups: Your mentor will host virtual and in-person group meetups throughout the year where you can get to know your mentor and the rest of your group!
Who are Bethune Peer Mentors?
Bethune Peer Mentors are upper year students from the Faculty of Science or Lassonde School of Engineering. Peer Mentors volunteer their time to help incoming students navigate their first year at York and receive training from the Bethune College Head Office.
Peer Mentors offer:
- Guidance based on their own experiences as York students to enable other students build confidence
to navigate their university journey. - Support and connection—someone to talk to who understands what you’re going through.
- Referrals to helpful York services when you need additional support.
