WHAT RECOMMENDS ME?

For this reason, by establishing informal language clubs where students can meet regularly to learn new languages and host events such as international dinners, dance lessons, or board game nights, UK and international students In addition, creating a “mentoring program” for international and exchange students ensures a smooth transition to their new environment and promotes integration and inclusion. increase. The same works for pairing international students with UK students.

• More job fairs and job fairs for international students ensure equal opportunities for careers and activities at the university. 
• Encourage the international community and its events to enable international students to become more involved in U.S. activities.

My desire to run for the post of International Officer is championed by the innate spirit of servant-leadership and making a difference. I think this would be the best role for me to show what my experiences can make a great difference for the International students in the University of Derby , I wouldn’t hesitate to go extra mile to support the students in a positive way so as to make their university experience an unforgettable one. Our strong International community is one of the features that make our university special-Let’s keep it that way!
