The International Graduate Student Advisory Board (IGSAB) is currently recruiting for International Allies, a peer mentorship program. The International Allies Program is designed to provide support, community, and resources for international graduate students to help them adapt to life in the U.S and at UChicago. As a part of this peer-to-peer mentoring program, students in their second year and beyond will serve as mentors to first- or second-year students. This mentorship may entail sharing various life, academic and administration-related experiences, among other things. Each mentor-mentee pair will be required to meet at least twice per quarter, with a small stipend provided to enable outings such as going for brunch or coffee, visiting a museum, or other activities.

Register your interest in participating in International Allies with the following form by November 3, 2023 at 5 pm. Based on your responses, we will match mentors and mentees accordingly within a week. The program will officially start with a kickoff mixer on November 15, 2023 from 5:30-6:30 pm at UChicagoGRAD HQ (3rd floor, bookstore building). Attendance will be mandatory barring course conflicts.
