Mentors share their own experiences, offer advice on studying and university resources, and help with practical matters, while also giving newcomers an introduction to Hungarian culture and customs.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The evening began with opening remarks by<strong> Dr. Adrienne Stauder<\/strong>, Director of the IMP, <strong>Prof. Dr. Gy\u00f6rgy Purebl<\/strong>, Vice-Dean and Director of the Institute of Behavioural Sciences, and <strong>Prof. Dr. Al\u00e1n Alp\u00e1r<\/strong>, Vice-Rector for International Studies and Head of the Center of International Training Programs.
