Why do you like participating in the Mountie Mentor Program?
It's an opportunity to connect with students and share our own personal journeys. 

Advice for students:
My advice to students is to utilize your resources on campus. Get involved in a support program. Don't be afraid to ask for help and when it gets tough do not give up. Remember why you started college to keep you motivated throughout your academic journey.
