my name's
jay rojas and i'm the coordinator of
student leadership at the student
experience department
guelph it elicits a lot of emotions for
me because i got to know a lot of people
and in meeting new people i found my
calling
in student affairs for those attending
university of guelph remotely there's a
few ways to get involved
visiting grifflife.ca it's our student
engagement platform where there's
various hobbies and interest clubs and
program associations
there's about 250 plus recognized
student organizations at the university
of guelph
in preparation for the year ahead we've
been communicating with student leaders
and these
clubs and associations so that they're
prepared for those students who
will be studying remotely or working
remotely one of the ways that they're
hoping to do that is through microsoft
teams or webex
start on track is our mentorship program
in the fall and it pairs first-year
students with upper-year students
to develop skills such as time
management relationship building
and studying during orientation week
you'll have an opportunity to
speak with students staff and faculty
who are recruiting for
programs clubs associations to get
involved in experiential learning
opportunities
i think one of the best ways to be able
to maintain that sense of community and
belongingness is to
just pop in virtually and just say hello
how are you
you
