Short Response Questions
Your responses to the following questions will help the Department of History’s Peer Mentor Coordinator to become familiar with your interests and strengths as a student. Responses are limited to 100 words.

1. What do you wish you knew, or had been told, when you started in the history program at Lakehead University? Conversely, if you benefitted from the insights and/or advice of an upper year-level student when you first enrolled at Lakehead, what was the most useful information you received?

2. What, in your mind, are the most important characteristics of an effective student mentor?

3. Why do you want to be a student mentor? Put another way, what do you hope to get out of the Department of History’s Peer Mentoring Program?

4. Do you have any past mentoring, tutoring, teaching, or coaching experience? If so, what did you do, and what sort of responsibilities did you have?
