When student-athletes enter the University of Calgary, they begin what will be a five-year holistic development journey. We want our athletes to have the best student-athlete experience in Canada with every opportunity to fully develop their athletic, academic and leadership skills while at the University of Calgary. In order to achieve this, we need a strong mentorship program from the University Alumni network as well as the Calgary business community.
2Mentorship and Employment Goals
- Program Design that Develops Great People through the Mentoring Lifecycle
