MCS provides culturally-sensitive support services to BC students in the area of academic skill building development, faculty and peer mentorship, student advocacy, information sharing, connecting to resources, and community building.
MCS Connects Mentoring Program fosters professional and supportive mentoring relationships between incoming students and peer, staff, faculty mentors for a period of one year. Mentors will guide new students to work through academic and personal goals as they make their transition to BC. Research shows students with mentors are more likely to succeed academically and have better relationships with peers, teachers, family and friends.
