About the Program
The ICCIT Student Mentorship Program (ISMP) is available to newly admitted ICCIT students to help them make the most of their studies. Mentees are matched with an upper-year ICCIT student mentor of their choosing for the academic year.
By joining this mentorship program, mentees will receive first-hand support and guidance for the full academic year.
Through group sessions and one-on-ones, mentees will gain valuable insight regarding university life, making new friends, and will receive tailored support as they navigate their social and academic transition to the ICCIT.
