The Peer Mentor program is a resource designed to provide guidance and support to EUC students. Peer Mentors are dedicated upper-year student leaders representing all programs in EUC and play a key role in helping new undergraduate students transition to university and to the Faculty of Environmental and Urban Change.
Peer Mentors are trained leaders. They are academically successful and can be a positive influence on students by providing sound advice and encouragement.
“University doesn’t come with an instruction manual, but it comes with a peer mentor program and our mentors can help you figure out where the screws go”
