Meet our Mentor of the Month, Calvin Howard! Calvin has put in countless hours and hardwork to ensure his mentees receive the best help possible. Thank you for being a part of our program!
Calvin's Bio:
Hey! After a long first two years of studying my butt off, I realized I knew my material pretty well! However, I wasn't as involved in campus life as I wanted to be, and I heard about the Golden Keys Mentoring Program. It sounded like a pretty great fit! I could use all the countless hours I spent studying to get more involved! Needless to say, it's been great. For the past few months, I have been mentoring mid-level science courses and meeting lovely people who want some help. The program has been wonderful for meeting people, making sure I don't forget my basic science, and really developing myself as a mentor.

Hello Everyone! We would like to introduce our first Mentor of the Month for this year. Congratulations to Stephanie Le! Stephanie is new to our program but has helped out tremendously. We thank her for all of her hard work and enthusiasm!
Stephanie's Bio:
Hello! My name is Stephanie and I am currently pursuing my Master's in Agricultural Economics. It's my first semester as a mentor and it's been pretty awesome so far- I got to meet other mentors (they're a very friendly and dedicated bunch :) ), represent Golden Mentors by tabling events, and eat free pizza! I also enjoy tutoring, especially in my favourite subject areas- calculus, linear algebra, statistics, and economics, because it lets me help others, practice the ability to explain highly technical terms, and meet new people.
Thank you Stephanie, we are very happy to have you on our team!
