Formal mentoring programs at the University of Manitoba

The University of Manitoba as a whole does not have a formal graduate student mentoring system established beyond that of students and advisors. However, individual academic units may have a mentoring program in place that caters to the unique needs of their students. 

Take the time to check with your particular academic unit to see if they have a mentorship program in place. If it does not, enquire into the merit of establishing one. Some units may facilitate finding a mentor within the department while others, especially those with professional affiliations outside of the academic arena, may partner with mentors in the private sector.

Two examples of existing mentorship programs are:

The Department of City Planning

The Faculty of Social Work
