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 :)

|Hello everybody! My name is Erica Mihalcheon. I am currently a Policy Analyst at ISC's Governance Capacity Directorate, where I have worked since April 2020.
I have a Bachelor of Arts in Political Science from the University of British Columbia's Okanagan campus, and have just recently finished the requirements for my Master of Arts in Public and International Affairs at the University of Ottawa. My research has primarily focused on political polarization, US foreign policy, and Middle Eastern politics.
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.
