We will be examining the following research questions using a mixed-methods research design:
-
What connections do first-year students make between mentee experiences and adjustment to university, learning, and professional growth?
-
What connections do peer mentors make between the experience of peer mentoring and personal and professional growth?
-
What are the areas of intersection between the needs of first-year students in the Concurrent Education program, and opportunities for professional development for fourth-year students? What formats and approaches best support mutual growth in these relationships?
