Clan Mentorship
When you come to Orientation as a new student, you will get connected with your Orientation Leader and your Clan (a group of approximately 15 new students). Following Orientation and throughout the term, your OL acts as a mentor for your Clan. The Clan Mentorship program provides a 13 week series of events, e-zines, reunions, prizes and more, designed specifically for you and your Clan.
The Connection - Mentorship E-zine
The Connection is an e-zine sent to all Orientation participants monthly in their first semester at SFU. It provides information, tips and resources covering what you need to know to succeed as a student. Plus, you’ll get info about the Clan reunions and other events that you are invited to take part in.
