ISSS has officially opened applications for the Global Penn Student (GPS) Navigator Program!

What is a GPS Navigator? 

  • GPS Navigators are international students at Penn selected to represent the diverse interests and identities of Penn’s global community and serve as ambassadors for new international students, primarily by engaging and creating content on the virtual Your World@Penn platform, which will be re-launching in Summer 2022.  

  • GPS Navigators will be expected to help new international Penn students by providing advice and mentorship on topics such as social and academic life, cultural adjustment, and campus resources for international students. 

  • GPS Navigators may also be called on to serve as ambassadors and supporters for other orientation and pre-orientation activities for international students. GPS Navigators should expect to commit to the program from May through August 2022.

  • This is an unpaid opportunity with an expected time commitment of 1-1.5 hours per week.

 

Who should apply to be a GPS Navigator? 

The GPS Navigator program is open to all international students at Penn (graduate and undergraduate) who will be enrolled through the Fall 2022 semester (December graduates are eligible) and who:
