On this week's episode, Tomaso welcomes another student leader, Qianqian Chen, a previous First Year Experiences (FYE) mentor and a current FYE TA. Being an international student from Wuhon, China, Qianqian has faced many challenges such as homesickness, the language barrier, and culture shock. However, through her experiences in the FYE program, she was able to find her place on campus. Now, she is giving back to the program, mentoring first year students and other FYE mentors. Qianqian stresses the importance of getting involved, especially for international students, and how the FYE program allowed her to explore campus. She also shares how much she cares for her mentees and wants to see them grow. If you are participating in the FYE program, are an international student, or interested in learning about both, make sure to tune in to this episode!
