Our Orillia team has been crushing it with student engagement, mentee applications and overall positive vibes and energy to start the year!

We wanted to shoutout Mahi for her awesome working getting (at least) 9 mentees signed up during their tabling shift on Thursday this week!

I'm going to echo some sentiments about the amazing work done in Orillia recently! Ditian connected with so many students yesterday as well! Great first week of tabling folks!

The other day, as I was getting off the bus there was a person with visibility impairments and they were having a difficult time figuring out where to go due to an unexpected bus stop in a new area. A Peer Mentor, and two other students took the time to walk this individual to where they needed to go.

This felt like a true moment of inclusion and truly living the green hoodie mentality.

We wanted to shout out an email that Ditian has sent out this week to her mentees, asking for their availability for hangouts and voting on possible hangout ideas! This is amazing timing to get organized for next week and get your mentees excited! Great work Ditian :D

Hey everyone, I'm Mahi and I'm from India. I'm studying Child and Youth Care at Georgian College. I'm super excited to be a part of the Peer Mentor program and to work with you guys.

Something about me:

I'm more of a nature-beach person so I never miss a chance to watch a sunset.

I love to sit at the beach, play some good music, read a book, or just enjoy the view at sunset.

The place where I want to travel the most is Europe country, I just love the architecture of that country.

That's pretty much all about me, can't wait for the fall semester to start and to work with all of you guys. ;)

This type of place is where you will find me most of the time.

Hey everyone, myself Himanshu from India. Currently studying Global business management from Georgian college. I am excited to be part of the Peer mentor program and to work alongside all of you.

A little about me: I’m a DIY enthusiast, which means if there is something that can be fixed, build, or crafted- I’m all in! To me DIY is not just about making cool stuff; it is like life’s way of saying, “Hey, you’ve got this!” It’s all about tackling challenges head-on and learning a ton along the way. Plus it is a great mental exercise for me to heal myself whenever I’m low.

Also, huge fan of sunset, walk in woods. There is just something magical about them like nature’s way of showing off after a long day. And when it comes to music, I am pretty easy-going. As long as it sounds good I am Vibing to it.

So, this is pretty much about me. Looking forward to getting to know all of you and working together.

Hey Everyone! My name is Becky (it'll show as Rebecca online), I am the Non-Barrie Lead for this semester, and I am so excited to meet and work with you all! I love all things outdoors and I spend most of my free time hiking and adventuring in forests. Given that, it's not surprising that the first place on my bucket list to visit is Northern Canada - specifically Yukon, but I would love to go as far north as possible! As important as spending time outdoors is to me, I would say one of my most important values is working towards growth. I have a whole lot of thoughts around that, so if you're curious, we'll find some time to chat! I can't wait to get the fall semester started, but let's enjoy a bit of a down-time as we finish up this semester! :D

Hi everyone! I’m Arpit and I like to go with Arii, I’m studying Biotechnology-health here at Georgian & I’m super excited to start working as a Peer Mentor!!

I currently call Barrie home, where I enjoy exploring all the local events and hidden gems in the city. Outside of work, I’m an extrovert at heart, so you’ll often find me attending festivals, meeting new people, or just spending time at the beach. One of my core values is community—creating spaces where people feel welcomed and included is something I really care about.

As for my hopes and dreams… well, I think they revolve around traveling and learning from different cultures. A place I’d love to explore is Europe—I’m captivated by its rich history and diverse cultures.

Looking forward to meeting and working with you all!

Hello everyone! I am Ditian from China. I am studying early childhood education at the Orillia campus right now. I'm really excited to join the peer mentor team!

I would call Orillia home for now because I study and work here. I love spending time with cats; I'm volunteering at a cat shelter. They are really cute! My next travel destination is Orlando; they have the biggest Disney World and Universal Studios! Hopefully I could be there next year or the year after that...still saving up :)

Can’t wait to see you guys next week!

I am Diwakar Adhikari from Nepal. I am currently studying Global Business Management at Barrie Campus. I enjoy playing table tennis, soccer, and chess. I am fond of games that involve puzzles and problem-solving. I also like watching mystery movies, especially murder mysteries. I value honesty and appreciate honest people.

I want to travel worldwide and participate in thrilling activities such as skydiving, bungee jumping, and more. I am really excited about the opportunity to work with you all and meet new incredible people.

The question about hopes and dreams really got me thinking, but I still haven't come up with anything. I didn't want to delay posting any further, so I decided to post it without answering that part.😂😂😂

Let's Kick Off an Amazing Semester Together!

Hey everyone!

I’m Anmol Bhardwaj, and I’m really excited to be part of the Peer Mentor Team again this semester! I’m originally from India, but I’m currently living in Barrie while studying Computer Programming and Analysis at Georgian College. Outside of school, I’m into watching web series and movies, and playing outdoor games. My favorite web series is "How I Met Your Mother", and I’m a big fan of the movie "Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani".

Helping others is something I deeply value, which is why I love being a Peer Mentor. This semester, I’m especially looking forward to organizing creative and fun events for our mentees to help them feel connected and supported.

If I could visit any place, it would be Switzerland. The breathtaking landscapes and serene atmosphere there would be a dream to experience.

Can’t wait to work together and make this semester great!
