McGill is committed to creating a culture of mentoring. There are numerous mentoring opportunities at the University, each with its own guiding principles, structure and goals.

Mentoring Across McGill

The Mentoring Across McGill Program connects undergraduate students looking to enhance their overall university experience with faculty members, staff members, graduate students, and, as of this term, alumni. Eligible students may also connect with healthcare professionals through the WPC Committee.

The program applies a holistic, community-wide approach to mentorship in order to facilitate informal out-of-classroom conversations, knowledge-sharing and network-building between students and other University members, enriching each of their experiences at McGill. Every mentoring relationship will be unique in its nature and scope and will develop organically over time.
