What is the Global Ambassador Mentorship Program?
The Global Ambassador Mentorship Program is designed to help incoming first-year and incoming transfer international undergraduate students successfully adjust to life at UC Davis. Through peer mentorship and participation in social events, new international undergraduate students make connections with new friends and find a welcoming global community at UC Davis.
Global Ambassador Mentors represent the diverse student community on campus — domestic and international, from different academic years and fields of study, and with varied life experiences.
Global Ambassador Mentorship Program events are open to all undergraduate students, so you can always invite a friend. Keep up to date on events on Homebase and by subscribing to the SISS Newsletter or checking the SISS events calendar.

Get Mentorship as a Mentee
