You have already completed all or part of your compulsory courses. You are in the process of writing your thesis. This means that, so far, you have been able to overcome the immense challenges involved with graduate studies in law. WELL DONE!

Get involved! 

To this end, if you have a little time to spare and want to get involved, we need your help in mentoring new graduate students. This will take place in an informal setting, to transmit your expertise, to share your experience, to transfer your skills to new graduate beginners to ensure that they succeed in social and academic integration. 

The benefits of being a volunteer mentor: 

• Volunteering can enhance your curriculum vitae for job applications, scholarships and admission to other programs. 
• Demonstrate your involvement and leadership within your community. 

Please note that mentors are not expected to be responsible for another student’s mental health or wellbeing. If there are any signs that a student mentee is struggling with mental health issues, they are to redirect that student to Health and wellness | Campus life (uottawa.ca)

If you have a few hours to spare. I invite you to fill out the Vulunteer Mentor Program Application Form (PDF, 117 KB)  and return it to us by email at  [email protected]  

Deadline: January 8
