Meet Your senior transition mentors!

Say hello to your Senior Transition Mentors! During the summer, we help support incoming first-year and transfer students in their transition to university. You may have seen our names in emails that share key resources, tips, supports, and upcoming events to make sure you have the best experience at Vic! Please read below to learn a little more about us! We are so excited to welcome you to the Vic community!

Lily

Orientation & Transition Intern

Hey, my name is Lily (she/her)! I just finished my undergrad studying English and Women and Gender Studies here at Vic, and I am now pursuing a Master’s in Women and Gender Studies at UofT! I work closely with our Senior Transition Mentors and we look forward to welcoming you to our beautiful campus! I have lived in Toronto my whole life but the city and Vic never cease to amaze me! My favourite thing to do on campus (besides studying, of course!) is to explore and try new coffee shops, because everyone deserves a fun drink and a sweet treat to make it through the school day!!

Ella

Senior Transition Mentor

Hi there! I'm Ella (she/her), and I'm so excited to be a Senior Transition Mentor this year! I'm in my fourth year studying Bioethics and Medical Anthropology, and I hope to one day practice medical law in a pediatric hospital. Aside from academics, I absolutely love dance and music, and could talk endlessly about both. Fun facts about me, I have a cat named Sadie, I love Spain, and I'm a tea fanatic. Looking forward to all this year has to bring :) 

Kiara

Senior Transition Mentor

Hi all! My name is Kiara (she/her), and I’m a going into my fourth year studying Public Policy, Sociology and Education. Outside of class, I love to play soccer, dance, and hang around Vic with my friends! On a nice sunny day, I'll definitely be on the quad, or on the VUSAC patio talking & laughing with classmates and fellow vic students :)  

Octavia

Senior Transition Mentor

Hello everyone! My name is Octavia (they/she), and I am a fourth year student majoring in Linguistics and Psychology! Outside of my classes, I enjoy reading and creative writing, and I have hopes of becoming an author some day! I also love music and singing, and outside of my mentor duties, I am one of the presidents of Vic Chorus, the choir based out of Victoria College! I always enjoy meeting new people at Orientation, and I look forward to getting to know you all!
