In my first year I was signed up for the Mentorship program and was quite excited to be paired up with a mentor, but that didn't happen. There were only a handful of us at the meet and greet who didn't have mentors but we were all promised one by October at the latest. I was not paired with someone until well into the second semester and by then what was the point? I still went out of my way to make plans to meet my "mentor" but she never got back to me in time. So all in all this program was a giant waste of time for me. If you are in one of Brock's more popular programs then go for it. But as a VISA student (Visual Arts) This program was a waste.
