Thankfully, I had many mentors along the way to help me, and I am fortunate to have found my place in academia. Aside from mentorship I credit serendipitous good fortune and hard work as keys to my success. In 2015 I completed my PhD at UBC in Kelowna, and have recently begun building the Cerebrovascular Health, Exercise, and Environmental Research Sciences (CHEERS) Laboratory at UVIC. I look forward to working with other first-generation students to help them discover their own journey through academia.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p style=\"text-align: right\"><a style=\"text-align: right\" href=\"https:\/\/www.uvic.ca\/education\/exercise\/people\/faculty-directory\/smith.php\">View Kurt Smith&#8217;s UVic profile<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<hr \/>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Mentors of the Faculty of Education Kurt Smith Associate Professor As a first-generation University student, hailing from a small rural northwestern BC community I made many rookie mistakes as I &#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":15946,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-38","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/onlineacademiccommunity.uvic.ca\/firstgen\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/38","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/onlineacademiccommunity.uvic.ca\/firstgen\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/onlineacademiccommunity.uvic.ca\/firstgen\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/onlineacademiccommunity.uvic.ca\/firstgen\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/15946"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/onlineacademiccommunity.uvic.ca\/firstgen\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=38"}],"version-history":[{"count":34,"href":"https:\/\/onlineacademiccommunity.uvic.ca\/firstgen\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/38\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":437,"href":"https:\/\/onlineacademiccommunity.uvic.ca\/firstgen\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/38\/revisions\/437"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/onlineacademiccommunity.uvic.ca\/firstgen\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=38"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
