International Student Mentorship Program
 |
Interested in getting a student Mentor at Mount Allison?
If you register for the program, you will have the opportunity to e-mail your new Mount Allison friend before you arrive in Canada, and once you begin classes at Mt. A., an event will be held so that all the participants can meet. There will be organized group activities as well as independent events for you and your Mentor. You will be expected to make some time for your partner to get together for social activities such as going for a coffee or going to a movie. The aim of the program is to help new international students make new friends and promote cross-cultural sharing. The returning Mount Allison students can also provide help and support for new international students, since they already have experience studying at Mount Allison.

Mentee Guidelines and Expectations:
* You will communicate with your mentor prior to your arrival via email
until you have established the best form of contact (which may be by phone,
text, Facebook, MSN, alternate emails, etc). Your mentor will initiate contact
with you; it is your responsibility to respond to your mentor in a timely
fashion.
* Your mentor will help answer any questions or concerns you have as well
help you get oriented in Sackville and on the Mount Allison campus.
* Your mentor will act as the go-to-person. A mentor is NOT a tutor, academic
advisor, immigration advisor, or personal counselor, however if you require
theses services they can direct you to the appropriate department.
* Meet with your mentor upon your arrival.
* Attend the Annual “SACtivities Fair” with your mentor.
* Attend a Cross-Cultural Workshop with your mentor.
* Attend at least 2 of the mentorship program events with your mentor.
* Meet your mentee regularly.
* Your mentor is also a student and their time is valuable. Please reply
to them and utilize their expertise if you sign up for the program.
* Complete a mentee report.
* Complete a program evaluation at the end of the semester.
* Have Fun and make a new friend!
If you no longer wish to be a part of the program (due to conflicts in schedules, personalities, interests, etc) you must advise the Mentorship Program Coordinator immediately so that we may provide your mentor with a new mentee.
