Ambassador program provides support to international students
As part of International Education Week, November 15-19, the Faculty of Arts and Science is taking the time to recognize its Connect program which provides prospective and incoming first year students the opportunity to connect one-on-one with a student ambassador to learn about their Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션s experience and ask questions.
This initiative has proven to be particularly important to prospective international students who value hearing about the experience of current international students with moving to Canada and adapting to life at Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션s.
카지노 게임 컬렉션The Connect program allows us to foster a diverse and inclusive environment within FAS and provide support to our international students,카지노 게임 컬렉션 says Dean Barbara Crow.
FAS is celebrating its five international Ambassadors as part of International Education Week. These five students are part of the larger FAS Connect program, which features 14 students of varying backgrounds, areas of study, and interests.
They all have unique reasons for coming to Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션s and they each view the Connect program as much more than just a job.
카지노 게임 컬렉션My interest in studying abroad started early in my life,카지노 게임 컬렉션 says Tingyu Shi (Geography). 카지노 게임 컬렉션I always believed that 카지노 게임 컬렉션it is better to see for oneself rather than to hear the stories,카지노 게임 컬렉션 so I was determined to go abroad and meet people from different cultural backgrounds. I don카지노 게임 컬렉션t think of this program as a job but as an opportunity to learn from my peers and supervisors. It카지노 게임 컬렉션s an opportunity to practice communication and time management, and it카지노 게임 컬렉션s a good balance for my academic life.카지노 게임 컬렉션
Ruilin (Rebecca) Zhao (Life Sciences) says she had no connections when she arrived in Canada and that was one of her motivations behind applying for the Ambassador position. 카지노 게임 컬렉션I believe lots of international students share my experiences, both good and bad, so this is what drove me to become an Ambassador. I want to help, to let those prospective students feel less stressed and be more prepared for university.카지노 게임 컬렉션
Last year, student ambassadors connected with 211 individuals, 31 per cent of whom were international. After the successful pilot year, FAS is excited to bring the program with an emphasis on supporting prospective international students.
카지노 게임 컬렉션I chose to study abroad because of the opportunities provided in Canada for my intended career in Artificial Intelligence,카지노 게임 컬렉션 says Inika Chikarmane (Computing), who was born in India. 카지노 게임 컬렉션Being an Ambassador allows me to connect with students who are in the same shoes I was in four years ago. It is incredibly hard to make life-changing decisions based only on words from a website, but getting to put a face to the name, hearing about what my life here is like, learning about the best spots to study and eat on campus, these are all important parts of imagining what your life could look like here at Queen's, and the Ambassador program provides just that.카지노 게임 컬렉션
Arabella Orman (Sociology) echoes those comments and says her experience will help prospective students make the best decision when coming to Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션s. 카지노 게임 컬렉션This is more than a job for me because I find it rewarding to help others whose position I was once in.카지노 게임 컬렉션
