Service and Leadership

• Saathi Mentor - IIT Madras
  A Saathi Mentor helps freshmen settle into the college’s new environment and provides a smooth onboarding experience. They continue to mentor freshmen and advise them on academic matters till they become sophomores. I was a Saathi Mentor and mentored six students each in my sophomore and junior years. I helped my mentees with the challenging courses in their freshman year, solved their doubts, and gave advice on co-curricular activities.

• Acad Buddy Mentor - IIT Madras
  An Acad Buddy mentor helps both freshmen and sophomores who are academically distressed. They mentor the students throughout the year and assist them in their courses. I mentored three students each in my sophomore and junior years.
