It is a known fact that the best resource when it comes to advice during your university years will be upper-year friends: they have been in the same spot as you and so they are in a unique position to advise.
There are several events in the University of Waterloo that try to create events where first-years can meet upper-years, from resume critiques to mentoring programs. The problem with all these approaches is retention: many people don’t try to talk to mentors after their first interaction.
My friend Daekun suggested a unique idea to fix this issue: make a podcast series. Thus, I started a podcast series called Session by SE. The goal of this podcast series is to generate a resource where first-year students can pick podcasts which are most apt for them and gain upper-year advice at their convenience.
Sessions can be found on Spotify and on Anchor. Hope you enjoy!
