International Buddy Program

 

Western's International Buddy Program is designed to help the new International students transition smoothly to Western's campus and Bellingham. Western buddies will act as resources for the international buddies: answering questions before arrival, helping in settling into Western and maintaining correspondence. The International Buddy Program provides opportunities to meet and make global friendships. It also allows the buddies to learn new cultures and traditions. The International Buddy Program is fun and free! It is held throughout the year and all that is required is your commitment!
