Join Grad Mentoring: Brock University’s Peer-to-Peer Mentorship Program for Graduate Students! Learn about the ins and outs of being a grad student at Brock from a grad student colleague while building the connections and community you need.
About the Program
Grad Mentoring is about connection and learning. Whether you’re a new student looking for guidance or an upper-year student ready to give back, Grad Mentoring helps you build meaningful relationships and navigate your Brock experience with confidence.
As a mentee, you’ll be matched with an experienced upper-year student who can help you find your footing. As a mentor, you’ll support new students through their transition, grow as a leader, and make a real impact in your campus community.
The benefits: real support, real connections, and real experiences that make your time at Brock unforgettable!
