Brock International Services Events & Programs
Here at Brock International Services (BIS), our mission is to ensure all Brock students – International and Canadian – get the most out of their studies and experience. We do this by organizing events and programming as well as offering services to students.
Fun Fact: All of the events we host are open to all Brock University students at Brock including domestic and international!
This program matches International students with upper-year mentors to create a sense of community and be a guide to all things Brock. Students will be put in a group where they will participate in weekly check-ins, activities and opportunities throughout the year. Your mentors will also connect you with student life, introduce you to services, and assist in building a network of peers on campus.
This program pairs up Brock students who are interested in learning or teaching a new language. Are you interested in learning about different cultures, while helping a fellow Brock student practice their conversation skills in a new language? Perhaps you’re interested in learning a new language? If so, you should sign up for our Conversation Partner Program.
Brock International hosts social, cultural, and fun activities to keep students engaged throughout the year. We also offer several events designed to increase your cultural competency and succeed in today’s workplace. These events range from an International Education week to Culture Fest to winery trips and much more.
