Are you about to begin your studies at INRS in a regular program? You can take advantage of our student mentorship program for newly arrived students.
The personalized pairing allows all students who will begin their first semester in a regular program to be accompanied by a mentor. Everyone who is registered in a short-term program, a graduate certificate, a professional master’s degree or a research master’s or doctoral program can benefit from the personalized pairing.
Goals
• Facilitate your integration at INRS and in Quebec
• Answer your questions and direct you to the right resources
• Allow you to create a knowledge network at INRS
• Facilitate your full participation in academic life
First contact
To obtain a pairing you must send a request to bbve.sesre@inrs.ca. A mentor will be assigned to you in the days that follow. For international students, you must first have received your study permit.
Pairing is based on the preferred language of communication; the background and previous experiences; and the program of study and the research team. The mentee can withdraw from mentoring, request a change of mentor, or decline an activity proposed by the mentor.
You don’t have a mentor and you have specific questions? You feel alone and want to know the next activities in your center? Contact the on-call student mentor of your centre. This person will be able to answer your questions or refer you to the right resources!
