Launch of the Black Alumni Mentorship Program
(in partnership with the U of T Black Alumni Association)
In January 2023, the Black Alumni Mentorship Pilot Program was launched, bringing together 25 students and alumni pairs for a three-month journey of growth, connection and personal development.
The program, which ran from January through March, fostered meaningful mentorship relationships, enabling students to gain invaluable skills that would aid them in their academic, personal and career paths.
