Academic Success Program
The Academic Success Program supports students in their successful transition to Western by pairing them with undergraduate peer leaders. These peer leaders provide mentorship, wayfinding, and academic skills development to participating students, helping to ensure that new students thrive inside and outside the classroom.
More Information About the Program
ASP is focused on helping to create thriving students right from first year. Under Western’s thriving framework, the focus is on supporting students’ mental health and wellness by emphasizing unique strengths and their application in problem-solving, community building, learning, thinking, goal setting, and leadership development. In particular, the program prepares students in three key theme areas: wayfinding, friendships, and study skills, all of which are critical elements to success as students transition to university.
