Mentee BRASA Pré

"Being a BRASA mentee was embracing a journey of self-discovery and the discovery of new opportunities. Beyond receiving one-on-one academic support to write the essays, expanding my contact network and exploring knowledge areas was essential so I would choose my university correctly."
