Maybe you could spend some time with a local farmer to hone your real - world science skills or
volunteer at an animal shelter ~ which could help you develop a
school partnership with community members ~ who might support your students
in the form of
mentorships ~ guest speaking ~ etc..
Denise also regularly
volunteers with the University of Toronto Faculty of Law, providing coaching and guidance to students participating
in the
school's moot programs, mentoring law students through its alumni
