The Office of International Student and Scholar Services is now accepting applications for Fall 2017 iLEAD Mentors. iLEAD student mentors are current international and US students who are selected based on their experience and enthusiasm to build a welcoming environment to Vanderbilt for all incoming international students, even before they arrive at Vanderbilt. We are looking for both graduate and undergraduate (sophomores and up) level students. Compensation is not available at this time; however, iLEAD as a student organization will receive a yearly programming budget.

iLEAD Student Mentors will:

• Serve as peer leaders for a group of 8-15 new students, focusing on group dynamics and one-on-one peer mentoring
• Communicate with assigned students by email prior to their arrival and act as a resource
• Assist with International Student Orientation and all orientation activities
• Join a student organization that works to create relevant and engaging programming for new undergraduate and graduate international students
• Develop skills in leadership, group facilitation, psychological and counseling services, mentoring and cross-cultural awareness
