Mentee Application

Mentee Application

Thank you for your interest in the Global Ambassadors Program! This online application is intended to facilitate meaningful connections for incoming and established UCSB students. Your mentor will be a more experienced UCSB student or perhaps a member of the UCSB community. Your mentor can help introduce you to UCSB and Santa Barbara.

We will do our best to match as many people as possible, but we cannot guarantee that we will be able to pair everyone who is looking for a mentor. We ask that if paired with a mentor, you commit to working with this mentor for at least one quarter.

If you have any questions or suggestions about this new program, email oissprograms@sa.ucsb.edu.

I understand that once paired with a mentor, I should respond to contact from my mentor promptly.
I understand that some programs may have additional costs, and that I am not obligated to participate in any of those programs.
The Global Ambassador Program supports diversity and inclusion. Intercultural communication is a process which requires flexibility, patience, and tolerance.
I will contact OISS Programs immediately if any problem or concern is evident. If my mentor is unresponsive, uninterested, offensive, or inactive, I will notify OISS Programs.
I understand that I should meet with my mentor a minimum of 5 times per quarter (approximately every two weeks) and attend at least 2 Global Ambassador Program events per quarter.
I am a responsible adult and take full responsibility for my actions and interactions with my mentor. I will not hold OISS or UCSB accountable for any injuries, damages incurred, or other unforeseen harm while participating in the program.
