"Being a mentee with the WILL mentorship program truly shaped my experience at laurier. As a first year, I felt so lost and overwhelmed with everything going on around me and having a mentor throughout this process really grounded me and helped me enjoy university. My mentor was truly like my big sister, she helped me whenever I needed with whatever I needed and I truly am grateful for the bond we shared and the experiences we had."

"I am so glad to have joined the mentorship program in first year as a mentee! It helped me feel so supported and it also prepared me to become a mentor myself. Now I get the chance to guide other students through the same obstacles that I went through. It is very rewarding and I highly encourage everyone to sign up!!"

"Being a mentor through WILL allowed me to give advice to first year students that I didn't have when I was in their position. I was able to form a meaningful connection with someone with similar interests and be a leader in the Laurier community. It truly was a rewarding experience and I wish I would have been a mentee in my first year! WILL has a great community that feels like a sisterhood, I would definitely recommend joining!"
