International Buddy Program
Adjusting to a new cultural environment can be exciting and challenging. New international students at the University of Minnesota often have a lot of questions and concerns during their first weeks on campus. The International Buddy Program was created to ease the transition, with current U.S. and international undergraduate students helping new undergraduate students.
We promote:
- Personal connections between buddies through individual meetings
- Creating a global community through large group events
What can you expect if you join the International Buddy Program?
New international students can:
- Connect with a current UMN student (buddy) before arriving
- Get a personal tour of campus and resources
- Explore cultural differences in studying and living at the University of Minnesota
- Join large group events with other new international students and other current U.S. and international UMN students
International Buddy Program is FREE, FUN and held each semester for new international undergraduate students. All that is required is your commitment to the program!
