Hi, we are Haruka and Argus and we are your International Officers for 2021/2022
Starting October, we will both be second year medics. Adapting to a new environment at a university in a new country can be daunting, and as international students who joined St George’s during the pandemic, we have experienced that first-hand. That’s why we want to provide as much support as possible for the international students at George’s.
Our main goals are:
-
Improving ISS’s International Buddy System for better engagement
-
More events with ISS during Freshers' week and other regular events throughout the year
-
International student webinar for freshers before arrival
-
SU Bar events and gatherings
-
Trips around the UK, including theme parks and historical sites
-
Connecting international students with students at other London universities
-
We also want to look into organising events that include both the local and international students to integrate the communities for a stronger student body
We can’t wait to meet you all (hopefully in person), and if you have any questions/ideas, please feel free to email us: internat@sgul.ac.uk
