Sophs help set the tone for Western student experience for first-years. They are their first friendly face, an infinite wealth of knowledge about campus life, and a resource they can turn to throughout their time at Western. 

Sophs are upper-year students who volunteer their time throughout OWeek and the entirety of the academic year to help first-years transition to university life. As a representative of their constituency and the larger Western community, Sophs acts as positive role models and contributes to the creation of a safe and inclusive environment on campus for Western students and staff.
