TedPack Leader & Mentor Experiences
We're highlighting some of the most involved TedPack Mentors and leaders who have taken advantage of multiple services and opportunities on campus. Take a look at the stories directly from our first year community.
TedPack Leaders
These first-year students share important information with their peers and host virtual and in-person socials, study sessions and more to foster community.
Being a TedPack leader has been incredible! I was fortunate to be paired with someone who turned out to be one of my closest friends. It also gave me the confidence to seize new opportunities during my first year. Next year, I will serve on the Board of Directors for the Ted Rogers Students’ Society alongside two other TedPack Leaders. I am confident that I would not have received this if it hadn't been for the network I've built through my TedPack.
Being a TeadPack leader has helped me in so many ways during my first year. It helped me build community, find people who have the same interests as me, make long lasting friendships, and it also helped me grow and mature as a person
Being a TedPack leader has greatly helped me succeed in my first-year experience at Ted Rogers as I got to build networks with students from all ranges in their university life. I'm glad to have gotten this golden opportunity to build a community with 45 people within my TedPack, and while doing so, I managed to create friendships that will truly benefit me in my academic life.
Being a TedPack leader has been the best part of my first-year experience as it has given me the platform to make several friends within and outside my pack. It has also created a platform that pushes me to attend the never-ending TRSM events. Honestly, I don't think my first-year experience would have been the same if I hadn't become a Tedpack leader
There have been many outings with my ted pack that allowed me to form relationships with others including international students. This gave me a lot of insight into how others are dealing with university and my program as well. With this ted pack, I've gained a lot of connections within social media and have a group chat to text to that we use to promote other events and competitions relevant to us. As well as using the group chat to prepare for midterms and exams relevant to the courses we are taking. This TedPack has made me feel included despite the massive change from high school to University and I'm thankful for that.
Being a Tedpack leader is very handy when it comes to networking and making friends. Was also able to help my peers with questions they had and pushed them to go to events in order to network. As a TedPack leader, I arranged hangout sessions with friends and was able to develop stronger friendships with some.
TedPack Mentors
TedPack Mentors are upper-year Ted Rogers School students that provide mentorship and guidance to TedPack members so they can better succeed in their first-year.
Being a TedPack mentor has influenced my TRSM experience by allowing me to get to know many more people and form incredible connections. Being able to continue helping out first-year students and mentor the first-year leaders who have stepped up to be a resource for their fellow first-year students is a really fantastic thing to do.
Being a TedPack mentor is a rewarding experience, and it shapes you to recognize your strengths and weaknesses as a leader at TRSM. I had so much support during my time as a mentor, and I met so many other students that positively impacted my life. I am thankful for the opportunity to grow professionally and academically as a guide to first-year students.
Being a mentor has given me a new perspective in school. Before this role, I was the student who needed guidance and had an endless amount of questions. Now, I am capable of giving incoming students advice. Ultimately, this role expanded my network and gave me a platform to leave a positive impact on my school.
It has influenced by TRSM experience because I'm able to give back to first year students. All of the information, resources, tips, and tricks that I've learned in student groups and the TedPack in my first year has allowed me to pass on this information. It has made me more involved in my school and made it a more enjoyable time. I heavily believe in the fact that your university experience is what you make of it.
Being a TedPack Mentor with the Fit for Business program has given me the opportunity to transition from a shy individual to a an emerging student leader on campus.
Being a TedPack Mentor has given me a platform to enhance my leadership skills while simultaneously improving many first-year students' experiences at TRSM. This opportunity opened my mind to different thoughts and opinions, resulting in greater personal satisfaction. Overall, witnessing the members' success and creating new long-lasting friendships is gratifying.
