My advice for onboarding students is do not feel afraid to ask questions. There is a lot of stuff that flies at you in the first couple weeks, and sometimes my supervisors would just throw a bunch of info at me and at the end say, "you get all that"? It is okay to say no, as it is so much better to be on the same page than to be guessing what you should do next. Everyone empathizes with the onboarding process so yeah, do not feel afraid to be honest :) | My advice for onboarding students is do not feel afraid to ask questions.

| + | If I could offer some advice based on my student experience, I would say: be honest and communicative with your supervisors and ask lots of questions; take the time to get to know your team on a personal level; and most importantly… finding some sort of way to relax and manage stress is essential. There is a lot of uncertainty around being a student, and I found that learning to not let that uncertainty get to me was very important for my mental health. Try not to be too hard on yourself as you adjust to your position at work while studying on top of that. | ||

| Trinity Choiniere-Hamilton | Co-Chair | CIRNAC | Hey there! My name is Trinity and I work as a student for the Centre of Abilities Management and Workplace Wellness with CIRNAC. I absolutely love my position and the team I work with. I do so many different things that is hard to summarize my position. Put simply, I provide mental health program support , generate data reports, and assist in the implementation of the 2021-2024 ISC and CIRNAC Workplace Well-Being and Mental Health Strategy.
Most of all, make the most of your experience by connecting with your team and other students. |

| Nathan Donald | Member | CIRNAC | Hey everyone! My name is Nathan and I am a Land and Water Policy Researcher under the Natural Resources and Environment Branch of CIRNAC. It's a really cool position where I focus on land claims, water licensing, and many other topics in between.
