"I really appreciate the mentor program because my mentor helped me a lot when I was first year. She would always update me on current school events, answered my questions, and talked to me. It was a great way to develop friendships with people who knew the school, as well as building a connection with school."

"I love the IPM program!! That's all I want to say. When I first time came to Laurier by myself, I found myself in a completely different world, alone and helpless. When I met my mentor, I got to be involved in many interesting events and gained different experiences of communicating with different people and also made a lot of friends in my first month in university. So far I can't think about any suggestions because the IPM program has been everything I wanted. This program is awesome! My goal is to become an International Peer Mentor in the near future."

"I am grateful to be part of the International Peer Mentor program. The peer mentoring position has definitely strengthened my communication, interpersonal, and organizational skills that will further help me in the future. It has been a privilege to develop strong friendships with my peers and supportive staff at Laurier International. I enjoyed meeting and creating friendship
with many new students of diverse backgrounds. Being able to provide advice and support to the new students was a great experience and improved my leadership skills. I am so happy to know that I could help new international students with their transitioning to a new environment."
