International Mentor Program
Why we provide the International Mentorship Program?
The International Mentor Program provides immediate friendship with a current Vanguard student and guidance from a Vanguard faculty member. This program helps guide an international student through their years at Vanguard. They gain valuable friendship and guidance. We want our international students to feel connected the moment they step foot on Vanguard’s campus.What is the International Mentorship Program?
The International Mentorship Program pairs international students with mentors to help during the transition process and beyond. International students are automatically enrolled in the program. Faculty and current students volunteer to be mentors for the entire year.When does the International Mentorship Program meet?
The International Mentorship Program has monthly lunch gatherings that take place during our lunch hour. Mentorship pairs will get together and be encouraged to have lunch with other mentorship pairs. This creates a community for our students. Mentorships pairs are encouraged to get together at other times throughout the month. For example, one of our pairs went to get snow cones after school. This was something new for our international students to experience in the United States.International Students from China ONLY
