# Support for Black students at Seneca

Seneca’s Student Mentoring in Life and Education \(SMILE\) is a free, peer mentoring program designed to help new students make the most of postsecondary life. The program matches first-year students with upper-year students based on identity and experiences.

New students can join the SMILE program and be matched with a Black identified student. Mentors can share tips and tricks to help students make the most out of their student experience and connect them to valuable resources.
