Our Mission:
IPG is a cross cultural mentoring program designed to assist all incoming international freshmen in making a smooth transition into university life. IPG provides both academic and social support in order to engage students in UCI’s vibrant campus life and help them create solid relationships in their new environment.
IPG is based on strong mentor / mentee relationships that encourage cultural exploration as well as academic and personal success. Through IPG, all students have a chance to create new friendships and develop their skills and knowledge in order to ensure academic, social and professional achievement at UCI.
Office Hours: IPG mentors are available to meet with mentees in convenient, public places on campus to discuss academic questions and concerns.
Mentor office hours are held during both afternoon and evening hours – at least twice per week.
Mentors provide a variety of academic services including:
- Review class notes
- Review mentee essays
- Attend professors’ office hours with mentees
- Help mentees create assignment / exam schedules
- Practice English with mentees

Our Approach:
The IPG program includes several types activities which help mentees become adjusted to life at UCI.
Individual / Small Group: These activities help mentees get to know one another and their mentor in a small group setting.
Examples:
- Mentors and mentees meet for coffee on campus.
- Mentors show mentees around UCI's campus.
- Mentors invite mentees to go out with friends.
