The Role of Inclusive Communities in Fostering International Student Success

Through this highly interactive session, participants will better understand the experiences of international students, the value of peer mentors as they transition to a new culture, struggles these students face upon arrival to campus and how those struggles translate to difficult emotions and feelings. Participants will identify ways in which peer mentors can help international students navigate their experiences at UCI. Presenters will share a brief overview of the International Peer Group mentorship program and open opportunity for attendees to discuss ways we can all foster an inclusive community for these students at UCI.
