INTERNATIONAL STUDENT-ATHLETE MENTOR PROGRAM
The International Student-Athlete Mentor Program was created in Summer 2019 by the Student-Athlete Academic Support Services (SAASS) staff in conjunction with the International Student Center (ISC). The purpose of the program is to help foster academic and personal excellence among incoming international student-athletes by:
Increasing their knowledge about U.S. culture and lifestyle by creating relationships with international peers
Connecting international student-athletes to athletic and campus resources that will help them succeed as SDSU student-athletes
Helping build essential skills for academic, athletic, and personal success
In this program, every incoming international student-athlete will be paired with an upperclassman mentor. The mentors (who are current international student-athletes) will encourage their mentees to embrace their new learning environment, while recognizing the importance of overcoming the diverse challenges and demands of college life to successfully pursue their academic, athletic, and personal goals.
**Undeclared is not a major option for international students. To receive an I20, students will need a program of study.
