16INTERNATIONAL STUDENT INSIGHT
WHY ARE YOU PROUD TO BE AN
INTERNATIONAL MENTOR?
As an international student, I experienced the
challenges that come with transitioning from
one country to another with respect to culture,
education and environment. As a fourth-year
student and international mentor, I make use
of my own experiences to connect with other
international students and give them tips and
guidance, to ensure a smooth transition from
their country to uOttawa. I do my best to help
my mentees by providing them with relevant
resources available on campus and by giving
one-on-one time management workshops to
help them keep up with their academics, since
the education system in Canada is different from
those in the Middle East and South Asia. I did
not know I would have such an impact on the
experience of other international students when
I first became a mentor, but with the help of
orientations, workshops, social activities and the
mentoring service offered by the International
Office, I’m proud to say I made a difference.

18THESIS AND RESEARCH SUPERVISOR
uOttawa.ca/graduate-studies/students/theses/supervision
Students admitted to a master’s program with thesis or research paper, or to a doctoral
program, must have a supervisor to guide them in their research and writing. Find out
as soon as possible which professors are good candidates to fulfill this role by following
these steps:
STEPS TO FIND A SUPERVISOR
1 See the profiles of professors who do research at the University of Ottawa and
more at uniweb.uOttawa.ca.
2 Read their profiles to learn about their research and theoretical approaches.
3 Make the first move: Email a professor to introduce yourself, discuss your research
and ensure that he or she is authorized to supervise your thesis. Be sure to make
a good impression by writing in a formal tone, even if it is an email. Include
information about yourself, such as your areas of interest and their similarity to
those of the professor.
4 Set up a meeting, by Skype, for example, to get to know each other and show your
interest. Have your CV, notes on your project and a list of questions ready. If you
are visiting Canada, you can even plan a face-to-face meeting and a campus tour.
Professors are not obligated to take on students if they feel it is not a suitable collaboration or if
there is insufficient funding.
