Exchange Student Mentor Program

Programs Abroad is looking for students who are interested in welcoming our exchange students to UALR. The Exchange Student Mentor Program is designed to help our incoming exchange students adapt and enjoy the UALR and Little Rock community.

Student mentors must commit to the following:

  • Attending a mini-workshop that will provide resources to help you connect with your exchange student
  • Making initial contact with your exchange student a month prior to the student arrives (via e-mail and/or skype)
  • Welcoming your exchange student at the airport and helping your student get settled into their accommodation (e.g. take your student to Target for house items)
  • Introducing your exchange student to UALR and Little Rock area
  • Casually meeting with your exchange student throughout the semester

If this program interests you, please submit an application to the Office of International Services (Old Education Building 101)
