weCONNECTu Mentorship Program

The weCONNECTu mentorship program aims to provide mentorship to incoming students entering the Faculty of Health by pairing first-year and transfer students with upper-year mentors, who will act as a resource to answer questions related to life at UWaterloo, connect their mentees with resources and services on campus, and offer social supports throughout the first year at university.

Why have a peer mentor?

  • get your questions answered quickly by a current student in Health
  • learn from a current student who successfully navigated the transition to university
  • receive tips on getting involved, campus resources, studying, time management and more
  • meet more students within the Faculty of Health

How do I connect with a peer mentor?

weCONNECTu is open to all incoming students in the Faculty of Health. You will be automatically enrolled into the program and matched with an upper year mentor, beginning the first day of classes! You will learn more about how to connect with your upper year mentor during the first week of the Fall term.

If you have any questions about the weCONNECTu program, please contact the Student Relations Officer.

Who are our peer mentors?

Peer mentors in weCONNECTu program are upper-year student volunteers who are passionate about promoting a well rounded, positive, and healthy journey for their fellow students. Peer mentors become a resource for support while also referring mentees to services on campus to ensure students have the tools they need for a positive university experience.

Mentor applications for 2024-2025 will open in April 2024. If you have any questions, please contact the Student Relations Officer.
