Connect Faculty Buddy Program

The Connect Buddy Program provides a support team for new international students by creating an opportunity for students to connect with a faculty, staff or admin person (who will be their faculty/staff mentor) and a returning student (who will be their Senior Student Buddy) to ensure our first semester students are welcomed and well-adjusted to life at Humber.

If you are interesed in joining, please contact: Dileeni Weerasinghe at dileeni.weerasinghe@humber.ca.
