Spring Term Week 9 Updates!

Posted on by sharece
Hi Peer Mentors!
Monday is our FINAL International Peer Mentor Meeting for the term! This is when we will be saying goodbye and sharing about our achievements and learning from the term. The meeting is from 5-7 PM and we’ll be in Hedco 146. I will be coming from another meeting in the EMU so I would like to plan to start a little late – at about 5:15. Let’s plan to start then! 🙂
Additionally, the International Picnic is THIS Saturday from 12-2 PM! Please plan to be there and WEAR YOUR SHIRTS! The OIA photographer will be there to take pictures of peer mentors at the picnic. The Duck will be there so please make sure to show up! 🙂
Also, please complete your Spring Term Check-In form. It’s the final one for the term!
Also – WHO has the sign in sheet from your study night? Please make sure to get that to me as soon as possible!
Thanks!
Best,
Sharece

Week Six Updates

Posted on by sharece

Hey Peer Mentors!

We’ve had the group interview for the incoming peer mentors! Shout out to Michaela for helping observe and provide feedback for the new and returning applicants! And shout out to Shan, Jude, Remi, Jane, and Rita for returning and representing the program so well! Woot! Woot! I can share more with you about this at our next meeting, but first – let’s focus on OUR cohort and spring term!

The Study Night has been scheduled for Tuesday, May 22nd from 6 to 8 PM in the EMU Rogue Room (140). Pato, Sylvia, Linshu, and Shan have said they can attend and facilitate the study group! Thanks! We’ll determine who will pick up the wagon or bags of snacks at our next meeting on May 21st.

The end of the year/term potluck has been replace with the ISSS picnic for ALL INTERNATIONAL STUDENTS! Please plan to attend! Wear your shirts! And invite your mentees! This will be on Saturday, June 2nd in Gerlinger Lawn from 12-2 PM. The ISO folks will be sending out invites to all students soon.

We have two more meetings this term. You’re required to attend. Non-attendance can result in dismissal from the peer mentor program. Leaders have to show up in order to lead, right? Some of you have arranged to have 1-1s because your classes conflict with the meetings. This is A-okay. If things do come up, please make sure you email me in advance.

Thanks so much for your time!

Sincerely,

Sharece
