When you join the IPC, you'll get invited to monthly community events where you can meet other international students and upper-year volunteers . You’ll build meaningful connections with students from different countries, cultures and faculties that you might not usually meet on campus through monthly events. Upper-year volunteers can help you navigate challenges and answer questions about life in Canada, the University of Waterloo and so much more.
When you submit your registeration form, you can choose to opt in to get matched with other students in a smaller group where small gatherings are held by volunteers twice a month. During the term, you can stay connected by attending various social events designed for both small and large groups. Here are some examples of the monthly community events we hosted in the past term:
