  • Level Up: A Second-Year Academic and Career Program

    It’s common for students to feel a little less structure in their second year. Plus, you might feel like you could’ve gotten better grades or accomplished more of your goals. You’re not alone. Participate in Level Up to access a community of support this year. Think of it like a close-knit social club, a collection of helpful resources and a series of group career counselling and academic coaching sessions — all in one. This 8-week program to build confidence in your academics, clarity around your career and help you thrive at Mac.

    Sessions take place in the Writing and Academic Skills Hub (Mills Library L215), every Tuesday at 10:30 a.m. – 12:00 p.m. ET. (no session during Reading Week).
