Student Connector Program
The Student Connector Program connects incoming international students with upper-year
Brescia students. The purpose of the program is to welcome our international students
and assist with their transition by pairing them with an upper-year mentor who can
share their experience, act as a guide and help ensure a smooth transition. These
peer to peer partnerships enhance our cultural awareness and continue to build our
bold Brescia community.
Together, as an incoming international student you will:
- Learn about Brescia and living in Canada
- Share personal experiences and discover each others’ cultures
- Participate in campus events
- Explore the Forest City (parks, shopping, restaurants, etc.)
Upper year students have an option to track this on their Co-Curricular Record pending
completion of specific criteria, including:
- Participating in a training session
- Completing four hours volunteering in September
- Completing two hours from October and November
- Completing one hour from December to April
- Maintaining a high level of engagement
- Feedback at the end of the program
