Quotes from previous SLG Leaders and Mentors

"SLG is such a wonderful program, and I am very fortunate to have been a part of it for 3 years. My highlight as a mentor is seeing my mentees improve and grow into their role as facilitators. Some of them are so nervous in the beginning, but grow out of it quickly after reflecting on their performance."

Gavyn, SLG Mentor

"As a student, I felt like I needed to be more involved on campus. SLG gave me the comfort of feeling like UFV is a second home, where I can build more life experiences, make more connections, and obtain useful work experience!"

Cheyanne, SLG Leader 

“SLG has been an incredible learning experience not only as a student but also as a leader. SLG really helped me understand how I learn and how others learn. It has equipped me with numerous strategies for teaching and learning and it’s changed the way I process and understand information. I have become more of an independent learner and I have seen my students do the same. SLG has been a tremendous experience!”

Rabia, SLG Leader
