International Peer Mentor Program
The International Peer Mentor Program is a volunteer program where current Linfield students act as guides and connectors for incoming international students. Mentors help students learn about their new environment, prepare for their time at Linfield and adjust to the new settings. International Peer Mentors are provided training to help them refine their intercultural communication and leadership skills as part of the program.
