The International Mentor Squad (IMS) is a group of international architecture students who are dedicated to welcoming and supporting new international students to the School of Architecture.
Members of the IMS work to provide new international students with an avenue to socialize with individuals outside their cultural groups and learn from students who have experience adapting to the United States and Syracuse University.
The IMS aims to explore the world with students from almost 50 countries found within the School of Architecture through cross-cultural engagements and cultural celebrations planned throughout the academic year.
