Don't just survive university. Crush it! Kick-Start into Science maximizes opportunities for students in the Faculty of Science to adapt to change, conquer challenges, build skills and gain knowledge that will help them throughout their university experience and beyond.
What is Kick-Start into Science?
Kick-Start is a series of workshop content available at the beginning of the fall semester. You can choose from two different themes:
Medical School Preparation and Science Accelerator are led by two highly successful upper-year students in the Faculty of Science who have made the most of their time at Carleton and who want to help other students do the same. The Kick-Start Coordinators not only lead the weekly workshops but also mentor Kick-Start students one-on-one outside of the workshops.

Kick-Start is our way of handing you a stellar university experience in the Faculty of Science on a platter. By participating in Kick-Start, you will:
