"I always look back fondly at my time at UBC as an undergrad and graduate student. The Mentoring program allows me to stay connected with the School of Kinesiology, from afar, while helping to gain terrific insight into the next generation of leaders in this field. As a Mentor, I'd argue that I get just as much out of the connection as the Mentee"

- Atila Ozkaplan, BHK 2001, MSC 2004, mentor
