Facilitating Student Integration
Each year, approximately 600 international students are matched with returning student volunteers [international and non-international]. Our Buddies, through this program, can significantly facilitate a new international student’s integration into the McGill and Montreal communities. By the same token, a Buddy volunteer will also be extended the opportunity to interact with students from various cultural backgrounds, and very likely, be rewarded with the possibility of making new friends!
