UPGRADE Needs You!

Are you involved in your academics? Have you learnt a lot about your program during your time at Laurier so far? If so, then UPGRADE needs your help! We are looking for Don Volunteers to help out with our new initiative called the P.A.L. (Partners in Academic Learning) Program. The PAL Program enables YOU to be a contact person for first year students in your residence area who are in your general academic program. As a PAL contact, you will become a quick and readily available academic resource from day one of the first year student’s academic career, providing information on professors, classes and academic opportunities. The time commitment requirement is approximately 2 hours/week, mostly answering e-mails and potentially meeting with students. Remember, you already know the material that the students are going to ask, and if not, you will know which direction to point them in for more help!

So, keep the PAL Program in mind as a potential way to get more involved in the first year experience and to meet more students with similar interests as yourself! UPGRADE will be asking for volunteers during Don’s training and we hope we can count on YOUR participation!
