Interlink Peer Mentor Program

The Interlink Peer Mentor (IPM) program is an important connection between international students, scholars, and campus life. At the beginning of each semester, IPM mentors assist new students and scholars with adjusting to life at Xavier University. Throughout the academic school year, the IPM program continues to serve new international students and scholars with their adjustments to campus.
