IMPORTANT DATES
Leadership Opportunity Spring 2025Each semester, new international students enroll in classes at Maryville College. Being new to the area, these students are excited to meet returning International & American students, learn more about the U.S., experience the local culture and for some, improve their English Language skills. The iMentor program facilitates connections between International and Domestic students and provides a structured program to maintain connections throughout academic year (or semester). Let us know if you want to be an iMentor now!
