The end of the Fall term in 2021 also marked the conclusion of the department’s first ever mentorship program for new Economics majors. The ECON-nection mentorship program connects 2A Economics students, who are in the first term of their studies as an Economics major, with upper year Economics students as their guide and friendly colleagues. The mentorship program allows students to build relationships with their peers, professors, and department staff, and introduces students to academic, career and student life supports. But best of all, led by their mentors, students have a space to make friends amongst their peers, providing ample opportunities for study groups to form, co-op advice to be shared and meaningful connections within the department to be developed.
