Student Mentors

Our way of saying, “Welcome to AAU, welcome to Prague, and welcome home!”

The AAU Student Mentor Program matches up first-year degree seeking new students with experienced student volunteers who assist them in adapting to university life. Our AAU Mentors are here to help!

Mentors are here to:

Hello, my name is Lyla Gent, and I am a second-year International Relations student with a concentration in Law; I am also originally from Texas! In my free time, I love to cook, watch movies, read, discover new music, and hang out in one of Prague’s amazing parks! In addition to being a mentor, this semester I will be working in the Academic Tutoring Center for Academic Writing, among other topics, as well as serving as a member of your Student Council as the Events Manager. Don’t be afraid to stop me and say “hi” or ask any questions you might have!

Hi! I am Sarah, I am a third year journalism student here at AAU. I am originally from Norway and moving to Prague was the best decision I have ever made! I am so excited to help incoming students feel comfortable in their new home. In my free time I enjoy photography, running and spending time with my friends. I love meeting new people so if you ever see me on campus feel free to say hi! 

Hello! My name is Mia Escobar and I’m a second year Latina/Asian student from the US (SoCal) studying marketing. I really enjoy helping others and am available for students in need of help. I understand the confusion of starting in a new university, especially abroad, and I can’t wait to meet and assist all of the incoming students. Outside of school, I really enjoy art, games, and photography. I’m usually spending my time in a park or cafe around the city. Don’t be scared to reach out!

Hi! I’m Elise and I am a third-year student at AAU studying business administration with a focus in economics. I am eager to help students adjust to life in Prague whether it’s for one semester or three years! This semester I will also be working in AAU Academic Tutoring Center, assisting other students with business and math related subjects. When I’m not at school, I enjoy traveling, getting outdoors, cooking, and am always working on a project just for fun. I am excited to meet the incoming students this year so be sure to say hi if you see me on campus!

Hi, my name is Amelie. I am from Querétaro, México, and am currently studying Business Administration with a concentration in Marketing and Communications.
