Â鶹ÊÓƵ International (DCI) Mentorship Program helps to welcome and orient new international students to Â鶹ÊÓƵ. New international students will have the opportunity to be matched and connected with returning senior students called Student Mentors. Student Mentors will help guide mentees by sharing experiences, providing social connection and important student life information.
Mentors assist new students by answering questions about Â鶹ÊÓƵ or re-directing them to contact essential Â鶹ÊÓƵ services, including medical insurance, how to navigate the website, how to find textbooks and tips on preparing to study at Douglas.
Objectives
Create early connections from mentor to mentee and provide new international students the support and guidance they need to transition to Canada, BC, and Â鶹ÊÓƵ.
- Help orient students to Â鶹ÊÓƵ services.
- Support a peer-to-peer network between new students.
- Reduce the feelings of loneliness and isolation among new students.
- Increase intercultural communication skills and competency for all participants.
