Why I became a mentor: When I first found out about the IPMP, I was excited to learn that there is a community of individuals dedicated to ensuring that international students have a successful journey not only on campus but in the USA as well. I decided to be a mentor because I understand firsthand how it feels to move to a different country and not know what to expect. Having struggled to adjust to life on campus and in the USA when I arrived, I am extremely motivated to share my experiences and do whatever it takes to ensure that international students have the most amazing experience ever during their stay here.
Bio: I lived in Ghana my whole life and moved to the USA shortly after I turned 18 to continue with my education. During my time here at IUPUI, I have made amazing memories and continue to see myself grow as a leader and individual.
Favorite Place On Campus: My favorite spot on campus is the Wood Fountain behind the University Library!
Favorite Thing about IUPUI: I love so many things about IUPUI, especially the amazing people here on campus and the many opportunities for growth here as an individual.
My advice: One piece of advice I'd like to give is to build a strong support system. The support system could consist of your family and friends back home or the amazing people you meet on campus through programs such as the IPMP. Having a good support system can help with the times when you feel stressed, lonely, or homesick. It's always great to have a group of people you can turn to for support, particularly when you're new to college life.
