Why I became a mentor: I joined IPMP as a freshman and I would consider it as one of my best decisions as a freshman because I found a family here. Coming to the US as an international student can be quite challenging but I was able to adapt and get all the resources I needed through the program. This is why I decided to continue in this tradition of being that first welcoming face for international students here at IUPUI. I’ve served as a mentor some semesters back and it was a wonderful experience. Looking forward to another great year assisting international students!
