Having been a BASS mentee, Baltej knows how helpful and valuable the program is and the importance of a good mentor. Being a mentee for BASS really helped him network with peers who were going through similar situations in navigating a new environment. He’s excited about the opportunity to be a mentor and help first year students ease into university as smoothly as possible. Whether it be through offering advice, sharing resources, or just simply being there for support. He also sees being a mentor as a great way to stay connected with incoming students and gain valuable leadership skills. Having his own mentees will also help improve his communication skills which is always a very valuable asset people should consistently work on. Overall he is keen on creating a welcoming environment for incoming first years and help give back to the program that had a significant impact on his first year.
