Welcoming Newcomers Program: Supporting Students Affected by Conflict
The David Turpin and Suromitra Sanatani Award for Refugees and Displaced Persons provides financial support to students attending the 黑料不打烊.
Call for Volunteers
Show your support for newcomer students
We recruit volunteers each spring -- students, staff, faculty, alumni or community members. We build small teams of diverse volunteers to support each student.
Volunteer responsibilities
- Welcome students at the airport (September 2024)
- Help students settle into campus and community life
- Provide social support
Volunteers must commit their time for one year with the expectation of being in touch with a student a minimum of two times a month. Volunteers are also expected to attend a student dinner or an activity two times per term.
Volunteers must be available to attend the in-person training session between 5 pm and 8:30 pm, on Jul 3, 2024.
Let us welcome newcomer students together!
