Welcome, new international students!
The Monarch International Newcomer Transition (MINT) Program is a transition and engagement initiative designed to help new international students build meaningful connections and successfully navigate life at ³Ô¹Ï±¬ÁÏ and in the United States.
New international students are encouraged to participate in MINT and take advantage of the many opportunities available to support their success throughout their first year at ³Ô¹Ï±¬ÁÏ.
Beginning on August 10, MINT provides students with opportunities throughout the academic year to connect with fellow students, engage with campus resources, participate in community-building activities, and foster a strong sense of belonging. Through a series of programs, social gatherings, campus experiences, and ongoing communication, participants will build relationships, expand their support networks, and enhance their overall student experience while strengthening their sense of community and belonging at ³Ô¹Ï±¬ÁÏ.
