BISHOP’S

LEARNING COMMUNITIES LIVING International Connections Floor This community fosters intercultural connections between incoming international students coming to Bishop’s University for an entire degree of studies or for a shorter-term student exchange from a partner uni-versity, and domestic students with an interest in learning about other cultures and countries. Domestic students living on this floor will be actively involved in making incoming international students feel at home in Canada, and learn about Bishop’s University together. Developing intercultural and linguistic competencies, building international bridges of solidarity, and sharing di ff erent ways of knowing and being are part of the tremendous learning opportunities o ff ered on this fl oor. For BU students wishing to partici pate in an international exchange program at a partner university during their studies, living on this fl oor is an excellent way to prepare! In previous years, the International Connections Floor hosted a virtual cul-tural exchangewith High School students from SaganoHigh School in Kyoto, Japan. Students also participated in organized trips to the Marché 5ième Saison, a local market o ff ering products and fl avors from around the world!
