About Today's Show

Today's episode focuses on the SMILE Mentoring program at Seneca College.  Smile is a mentorship program that puts new students in touch with a senior student mentor within a similar program area or identity who can support them in their transition to Seneca.

And our guests today – we have two guests -  are both students who participate in the SMILE program in different ways. 

Also in this episode, we also talk about:

1.  Specifically how the SMILE mentors can help new students  really thrive during their time at Seneca College

2. The value of being a mentor, and what it's like to see the huge impact mentors have on the student lives of the people they help.

3.  How having a mentor can help new students at Seneca naviage the complexity of life here, and even help manage the stress.

And a lot more...
