Residence Services is hiring Academic Peer Mentors for the 2025/2026 academic year. Academic Peer Mentors will be paired with first year students in our residence buildings, to offer academic guidance and supportive listening. Peer Mentors will be expected to establish an ongoing mentorship relationship with their mentee, and meet with them monthly. Peer Mentors are expected to role model academic success and encourage the development of healthy academic skills. Peer Mentors will receive training on how to support with various concerns, such as selecting a specialty, course selection, navigating Bear Tracks, time management and career navigation.

The HodgePodge Lodge is a community reuse building where people can drop off items they no longer need and take ones they do, all for free! The initiative is run by Strathcona County but the day to day operation is done by volunteers. They sort donations, put them away, tidy things up and answer questions the public has.
