Global Pals

Mt. SAC students have the unique opportunity to engage in a cross-cultural experience while providing peer to peer mentoring. F-1 international students are paired with the Mt. SAC campus community with similar interests. Global Pals get to learn about each others' culture, while participating in social happenings throughout Southern California. In addition, students get to create friendships with students from all over the world! Applications are accepted each August and February.
