Hassnae was nominated as Student of the Year for her dedication as a peer mentor. She mentored eight students at the beginning of this academic year, and they soon became her \u2018babies\u2019, as she calls them. One of the people who nominated her describes her as \u2018a really good mentor, genuinely interested in you, eager to help you, and when she sees you, she will always have a quick chat and ask how you are doing\u2019. Hassnae met with them once a week at the beginning of the semester alongside a tutor, and even after the mandatory tutoring sessions ended, they kept in touch.<\/p>\n\n\t
