This is an important skill to develop as the world of work and social networking becomes increasingly more diversified internationally. In this program, you will: 1. Meet friends from diverse backgrounds. 2. Create and plan exciting activities for your own group of mentees! 3. Work with a team of Cultural Peer Mentors to develop your leadership skills.
