1) Operation Guiders was a program launched this semester to provide guidance and support to freshman students through peer mentors called Guiders. 2) The program faced some challenges including low student turnout, time commitment issues for Guiders, and lack of funding. 3) Feedback was gathered through surveys and discussions which showed that students found value in the networking and workshop activities, and wanted different workshop times and more structured activities.
