Launch Peer Mentorship Program

Access Peer Support Throughout the Academic Year

The Launch Peer Mentorship Program is here to support your transition to university by connecting you with upper-year student mentors from your faculty. Whether you’re looking for academic guidance, campus resources, or opportunities to get involved, our team of Launch Peer Mentors is ready to help.

Why join the Launch Mentorship Program?

  • Connect with upper-year mentors in your faculty.
  • Keep up to date on important deadlines, academic resources, and campus events.
  • Access tailored support through faculty-specific events and workshops, such as course review, study sessions, intent to register info sessions, and peer-to-peer support (drop-in or email).
  • Explore opportunities to get involved and build your leadership skills.
  • Send an email or book a meeting —your questions will be answered by a mentor in your faculty.
