IPG Mentors 2023-2024

Mentors help IPG Scholars identify and utilize the campus and community resources necessary for academic and social success at UCI. In addition, they build strong relationships with their first-year mentees through small group activities and one-on-one meetings. Mentors collaborate with fellow ISEP student leaders on various activities throughout the year to create an educational and welcoming environment.
