TedPacks
You’ll be placed in a group of 45 students in your program to help build community and friendships, and keep in touch with your TedPack via Google Chat, virtual and in person events. You’ll also be supported by one of your first-year peers and one upper-year student mentor, as well as a recent graduate.
