in Semester One, 2005. To register your interest send an email to:

So what is an International Student Buddy?
As a buddy your main role will be to assist international students
during orientation and their first few weeks at Macquarie. You will be
assisting students to sign up for orientation, and provide information
about the schedule and activities. You will be involved in the
presentation of essential information and the implementation of the
social activities program.
What are the benefits?
There will also be fantastic opportunities throughout the program to
develop your presentation, communication and leadership skills. You will

international students and your efforts will be recognised and
acknowledged.
What is the time commitment?
You will need to be available for training on all of the following
