Successful mentoring programs for Chinese international
students embrace two-way learning, valuing the knowledge of both domestic and
international students. Mentor programs should be less of a one-stop shop and
more of a training that develops skills to navigate new systems. Promoting
two-way learning creates an opportunity for meaningful relationships between
domestic and international students. The benefit of these relationships is that
peers become friends, and then friends become family. The relationship the
students share is mutually supportive, leading to higher success and retention
for all.
