Peer Mentorship

Peer Mentorship registration is officially open! Sign up here to get matched with a peer mentor. 

The Peer Mentorship Program is open to all students regardless of year and area of study! Through this program, you will be matched with a peer mentor - a current undergraduate student leader within the Centre for Student Engagement. Our mentors have valuable insight into the UTM experience, how to get involved on campus, and knowledge of UTM supports, services and resources.  

This program has both virtual and in person components. Through our online mentorship platform, you will have the opportunity to make connections with fellow mentees and mentors both in the Peer Mentorship program and in other UTM programs. Through in-person components, participants will have a chance to make connections with other mentees and mentors.

How do I take part?

Registration for the program opens in September and we give participants the opportunity to choose their own mentor from our list of student leaders, or fill out a questionnaire to help us match you with the best mentor. Once you're matched, you will receive an invite to our online mentorship platform where you will connect virtually with your mentor and have access to a network of fellow mentees and mentors!

Why Participate?

Through this program, you have the opportunity to:

Get CCR Recognized!

This is a Co-Curricular Record-recognized opportunity. CCR requirements for this opportunity are the following:

• Meet with your mentor three times for the semester you join or six times for September - April.
