Previous Peer Mentor

Annie Yeung

September 13, 2024

I became a peer mentor because I remember how intimidating the first year of university can be with meeting people, attending lectures, talking to professors, etc... Through my experience, I want to help incoming students feel welcomed into their life at 911勛圖.

I hope to share insights and my experiences to help first-year students not feel so alone.

What is your best first year memory?

My best first-year memory was learning that university life can be a more flexible schedule, which allowed me to balance my social, work and academic life. I also enjoyed meeting new people and joining a dragon boating club, where I have made many unforgettable memories with my teammates.

Words of advice to new students?

As a new student, I recommend getting involved in clubs! Clubs are a great way to meet new people and experience university life. It can be pretty scary, but talk to new people because everyone���s in the same boat as you! Also, contact professors or TAs, especially when you need help or have a conversation.

What are you involved in on and off campus?

For my final year, I���m not super involved on campus besides being a Peer Mentor, but outside of campus, I volunteer in a classroom with elementary students and work as a Lifeguard/Swim Instructor.
