What is Tri-Mentoring?
The Arts Tri-Mentoring Program connects Arts students with industry and faculty mentors, and with one another.
It involves a UBC alumni who is matched with a junior (1st /2nd year) and a senior (3rd/4th year) student. Matches are based on academic and career goals. For the 2012-2013 academic year, students and alumni from Anthropology, Asian Studies, Economics, English, Geography, Linguistics, Political Science, Psychology, and Sociology will participate.
