UofG College of Arts International Student Mentor Programme

Snapshots from our lovely day trip to Stirling.🚌🌥🌳

Burns' Night might be behind us, but we still had a very Scottish night at Coopers yesterday!

Our pub quiz featured a variety of questions on Scottish life, culture, food, geography and language.

Thank you to everyone who joined us, and congratulations for your knowledge of Scotland, everyone did great! 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🦄

Featuring our winners with their UofG-themed prizes!

We had a great time exploring the Christmas markets and strolling around Edinburgh.

Who would have thought that we'd get such a beautiful sunny day in late November?

Beautiful snapshots from our recent trip to scenic Luss and Balmaha, Loch Lomond.

The day started off a bit rainy but, in typical Scottish fashion, it cleared up equally abruptly just in time for a hike.

Lovely to see so many students join us - it was a blast!

Not exactly a photo contest, not exactly a campus tour, but a secret third thing😆

Thank you to everyone who joined our photo scavenger hunt around campus, it was great to meet you all!

We hope to see many of you in our future events!

Hello new Mentors & Visiting Students! Excited to have so many of you with us this year!😊

By now, most of you will have been paired with a mentor/mentee, but do let us know if you haven't received an email from us, or if you have any issues!

Watch this space as we'll be sharing details about our first event very soon.

Meanwhile, we're attaching some light reading, kindly shared with us by [qmunicate magazine] . This is a great way to find out more about Freshers' week, places to go for coffee, accommodation tips, and more!

Have a great weekend. We look forward to seeing you all at one of our events!
