We’re launching a UBC DAP Mentorship Program!

We’re exciting to launch a pilot UBC DAP Mentorship Program in May 2023! The purpose of the mentorship program is to match UBC DAP students with like-minded UBC DAP alumni who can share their experiences, and offer guidance and advice on how you can achieve your career goals.

If your application is selected, you’ll be matched with a UBC DAP alumni who you will connect with on a bi-weekly basis, over the course of a 4-month period. Please note, we have very limited mentor/mentee spaces available, and therefore not all applications will be selected for the initial launch of the pilot program. However, we thank you in advance for your interest!

The deadline to apply as a mentee is Sunday, April 30th at 11:59pm. Please keep a placeholder for the UBC DAP Mentorship Program online orientation for mentors and mentees on Thursday, May 4th from 12:00 – 1:00pm.

Apply today!
