Hey Chemies! 🧪⚛️🥼 Want to start your year with support, valuable advice, and a welcoming community? The ChESS Buddy Program is to help incoming Chem Eng students connect with upper-year mentors 👥

Mentees (U0 & U1): This is your chance to learn the ins and outs of Chemical Engineering at McGill from someone who’s already been through it. Sign up if you’re looking for academic advice, general tips, or just a friendly face in the department :)

Mentors (U2+): This is your chance to share your experience and help an incoming chemie (or two!) feel excited and prepared. You’ll be checking in with them at least once every two weeks throughout the 2026/27 school year. You must have completed at least one year of Chem Eng courses to participate as a mentor.

🔗Registration is open and the link is in our bio! Closes September 6th, 11:59PM.
