51Ç鱨վ

51Ç鱨վ International (DCI) Mentorship Program helps to welcome and orient new international students to 51Ç鱨վ. New international students will have the opportunity to be matched and connected with returning senior students called Student Mentors. Student Mentors will help guide mentees by sharing experiences, providing social connection and important student life information. 

Mentors assist new students by answering questions about 51Ç鱨վ or re-directing them to contact essential 51Ç鱨վ services, including medical insurance, how to navigate the website, how to find textbooks and tips on preparing to study at 51Ç鱨վ.

• Help orient students to 51Ç鱨վ services.
• Support a peer-to-peer network between new students.
• Reduce the feelings of loneliness and isolation among new students.
• Increase intercultural communication skills and competency for all participants.
