Meet our trail guides

Students will make many important connections during their time in FHU Passage. While all of these connections are very important and will play a significant role in the success of FHU Passage, the connection with their Trailguide is arguably the most significant. The trailguide will be a students advisor during the two year FHU Passage program, and will guide them through the modules, assignments and assessments that are required to be completed.
