And by helping you get involved with Trent University Durham!

Who Is An Academic Mentor?

Academic Mentors are accomplished students who serve as role models and represent an important source of information and guidance.

Academic Mentors take advantage of campus supports and help fellow students tap into these resources. Academic Mentors volunteer their time and are not tutors or Teaching Assistants.

To speak with the Academic Mentoring Coordinator about how to get involved, email the Academic Mentoring Coordinator.

One on One Mentoring

One on One Mentoring is offered for students who are looking for more individual or specific support. Please contact the Academic Mentoring Program Coordinator to be paired with an academic mentor.
Email academicmentor@trentu.ca

Study Groups

The Academic Mentoring Program (AMP) is operating both in-person and remotely for the 2022-23 Academic year and is happy to help you explore one-to-one mentoring, study group possibilities, or support with general academic skills. We currently have mentors in the following disciplines: Child & Youth Studies, Teacher Education Stream, Psychology, History, Anthropology, English, Media Studies, Business Administration, and Social Work. We also have several mentors available for support with general academic skills.
