Peer Mentor
Program
About the Program
The Peer Mentor Program is designed to assist first-year engineering students at UNB by introducing them to the various resources available on campus and the range of events organized by the Engineering Undergraduate Society (EUS) and other related sub-societies. This program also offers a valuable platform for new students to connect with upper-year peers, allowing them to inquire about experiences and gain insights into common challenges and best practices to navigate their first year effectively.

About the Team
Jaswin Krishnamoorthy
My name is Jaswin Krishnamoorthy, and I am currently in my final year of pursuing a degree in Mechanical Engineering. For the upcoming academic year, I will serve as one of the Peer Mentor Leads, where I will oversee the operations of the Peer Mentor Program and making sure we can guide the new students through their first year at UNB seamlessly. Outside of academics, I enjoy playing sports such as cricket and tennis, as well as volunteering at my local temple. Should you have any questions about first-year courses or activities, please do not hesitate to reach out.
Ila Gurney
Hi! My name is Ila Gurney, and I'm currently in my third year of Electrical Engineering. This year I will be one of the peer mentors available to answer any questions first years may have about starting at UNB. Outside of academics, I have many hobbies including reading classics and sci-fi novels (I'm always willing to talk about books and movies), sewing clothing and quilts, running in road races, testing out my 3D printer, and hiking. Feel free to reach out if you have any questions and I'll do my best to help.
Cadence Nelson
