Ryerson University introduced the mentorship opportunity, Tri-Mentoring Program, whose educational priority is to mentor students using their individual experiences to find their sense of belonging.
The program offers peer-to-peer, career, and group opportunities to students across all faculties regardless of their identities and backgrounds.
Key Takeaways:
- Ryerson started the second year of its Tri-Mentoring Program and will run until March.
- The Tri-Mentoring Program offers peer-to-peer, career, and group opportunities to students across all faculties.
- The mentoring program in science, a key aspect of the Tri-Mentoring Program, helps students navigate career options in the field.
Ryerson’s peer mentoring features first-year students being matched with upper-year students in the same program or with similar interests supporting their transition into the first year.
Through career mentoring, students in the third year or above are matched with an industry professional for guidance and encouragement to progress toward their goals.
One aspect of the Career Mentoring Program is specifically for science students; a partnership brought together by Chancellor Janice Fukakusa and Faculty of Science Dean David Cramb.
According to Fukakusa, it’s essential to have a mentoring program in science to help students navigate the many career options available to them in the field.
Ryerson students under the mentorship program are exposed to industry-leading mentors in various sectors that will help them refine their professional skills and pursue their passions.
Finally, the university also hosts regular group mentoring community meetings for equity-seeking students on campus, including groups for 2SLGBTQ+, Black, Indigenous, Muslim women, students with disabilities, and women in STEM.
For Maricruz Rodriguez Rendon, the mentoring facilitator of the Tri-Mentoring Program, the program is an excellent opportunity for students to explore the many different career paths possible with a science degree.
The second year of the Tri-Mentoring Program started this month and will be running until March. Students who want to learn more about mentorship opportunities at Ryerson may check the program’s website here.
