°µÍø51 International Mentorship Program
Mentee Applications Open
Mentee applications for Winter 2026 will close on January 12, 2026.
°µÍø51 International (DCI) Mentorship Program helps to welcome and orient new international students to °µÍø51. New international students will have the opportunity to be matched and connected with returning senior students called Student Mentors. Student Mentors will help guide mentees by sharing experiences, providing social connection and important student life information.
Mentors assist new students by answering questions about °µÍø51 or re-directing them to contact essential °µÍø51 services, including medical insurance, how to navigate the website, how to find textbooks and tips on preparing to study at Douglas.
Objectives
Create early connections from mentor to mentee and provide new international students the support and guidance they need to transition to Canada, BC, and °µÍø51.
- Help orient students to °µÍø51 services.
- Support a peer-to-peer network between new students.
- Reduce the feelings of loneliness and isolation among new students.
- Increase intercultural communication skills and competency for all participants.
