ºÚÁϱ¬ÁÏÍø International (DCI) Mentorship Program helps to welcome and orient new international students to ºÚÁϱ¬ÁÏÍø.

Mentors assist new students by answering questions about ºÚÁϱ¬ÁÏÍø or re-directing them to contact essential ºÚÁϱ¬ÁÏÍø services, including medical insurance, how to navigate the website, how to find textbooks and tips on preparing to study at ºÚÁϱ¬ÁÏÍø.
