Program
The Iranian Association at the University of Toronto is pleased to announce the UTiran mentorship program for the 2019-2020 academic year. Applications for mentors and mentees are now open. In this program, mentors will be matched with mentees to support the mentees’ journey as a U of T student. Mentors must be senior graduate or undergraduate students at U of T or recent U of T alumni. There will be an orientation session for mentors and mentees in late-January to introduce the matched mentor-mentee pairs to each other.
