ºÃÉ«ÏÈÉú

International Peer Mentors (IPMs) are current ºÃÉ«ÏÈÉú students who are passionate about making campus a welcoming place for new international students. Our goal is to make the transition to college life successful (and fun!) for new international students. IPMs work in the Center for Global Engagement, answer questions for new international students, and to help them find their community at ºÃÉ«ÏÈÉú. These IPMs were selected for their outstanding skills of communication, friendliness, reliability, knowledge of campus resources and passion for cultural diversity.
