An Analysis of the Key Components of a Formal
Mentoring Program for International Students at
Robert Morris University

  "International students attending American universities feel the value of their education greatly exceeds that of their home countries'. It is important that while the international students study in American schools, they gain the necessary social skills and business ethics Americans gain."

     "By the completion of my dissertation, I would like to have created a model for a Mentoring Program at RMU for international students. The model will consist of two parts: one part societal influence from peer mentors, one part experience in the real-world with corporate associates."
