An opportunity to do a good turn on campus:
Hello,
I am writing to you on behalf of the International Student Mentoring Program (ISM). The mission of ISM is to provide more individualized support for new international students. New international students are paired with volunteer student mentors and have the opportunity to correspond and work with their mentor both before arriving at school and during the school year. This is a fun way to help others and learn from wonderful people!
This was our first year of the program and we are now starting the process of looking for mentors and coordinators for next year. Interest meetings will be held on March 8th and March 21st at 8:00 p.m. in the Student Diversity Center (3211 N.15th, the house across the street from Diversions Café). Applications can be picked up at and turned in to the International Programs Office (Howarth 215). Applications are due on March 26th. Questions can be directed to Shannon Forbes (sforbes@ups.edu).
Could you please send this information to the rest of your department and encourage professors to spread the word and announce this to their classes?
Thank you for your support!
Shannon Forbes
ISM Coordinator 2006-07
