"IPMP became my family here and I totally feel connected because of IPMP. The most beautiful thing about IPMP is that they are always there for you no matter what" —2019 Mentee

 

What is it like to be a mentee in IPMP?

As a mentee in IPMP, you will have a support system at IUPUI before you even arrive. You will have 2-4 mentors who are excited to get to know you and answer your questions beginning months before you arrive at IUPUI through the end of your first year.

Your mentors will introduce you to a team of other international students; mentees often become close friends with their teammates. With your team, you will experience a year of fun and educational events, exploring Indianapolis, friendship, and growth towards success together.Most mentors and mentees meet about every other week during the semester to talk, play sports, attend IUPUI events or just hang out.

Who are the IPMP Mentors?

The IPMP mentors are successful International and American students. They have been trained to help with your transition to IUPUI and to help you succeed in your personal goals—if you let them. They are wonderful people.

The mentors are excited to get to know you. Meet this year's mentors!
