Meet Charles and Clare – Your New Campus Hosts!
In January, Charles Biswas and Clare Malakar travelled from Dhaka, Bangladesh to Waterloo, Canada. As Conrad Grebel University College’s new Campus Hosts, Grebel staff and students made sure to greet them with a lively welcome at the entrance doors, warm clothing, and fresh homemade food.
Equipped With Education
When Kassim Ibrahim thinks of North America, he thinks of a land of freedom and vast opportunity. Kassim grew up in Kenya in a refugee camp. In the camp, Kassim cooked for his family and taught mathematics to other students. Education is highly valued in his community, but opportunities were scarce. With the goal to create more educational, economic, and empowerment opportunities, the World University Service of Canada (WUSC) program works in over 15 countries helping young people, and particularly young refugees, pursue higher education.
A Place to Learn
“As an international student, my goal was to study in a place that wasn’t exactly like my home country,” said Darley Dau, a first year Honours Arts and Business student from Vietnam. Conrad Grebel University College was just the place Darley’s passion for learning was looking for—a residence where she could be open-minded and learn about a variety of people’s interests, skills, religions, cultures, and more.
