Join us in celebrating love and affection in this special "Passport to Friendship” edition.
All international students are invited to attend this speed-friending event, where you’ll have the opportunity to “travel” around the room making new friends.
Expect tons of connections, cultural heritage sharing, and conversations about love, kindness and friendship. All of that in a very informal environment, with some food and drinks to warm up our hearts.
Hosted in partnership between the International Experience Centre and Campus Wellness
*Refreshments will be available.

Facilitator bio: Hi, I am Cecilia (she/her), and I have been working as a Counsellor at Campus Wellness since 2021, providing individual counselling and group facilitation. I am a cisgender woman who immigrated to Canada from Brazil. I had the experience of attending Graduate school as a newcomer, hence my passion for working closely with students adjusting to life in a new country. I am a Registered Social Worker with a Bachelor of Psychology, a Master of Psychology, and a Master of Social Work. I love exercising, travelling and spending time outdoors with my family. I am looking forward to our International Students Conversations!
