University of Winnipeg International Students Dialogue Group
If you are an international student, or will be arriving in Winnipeg to begin school in January 2010, and want to meet new and exciting people for a chat about school and life in Winnipeg, here is your opportunity! The University Of Winnipeg International Students Dialogue Group (UWISDIG) offers you an opportunity to meet with other international students from all over the world to celebrate diversity, connect culturally, and possibly make new and exciting friends.
You will get to share your experiences of coming to Winnipeg, hear about other student's experiences, share a snack and just have a very relaxed chat time amidst smiling faces (and in "Winterpeg", warm faces always make a difference). Hope to see you at our first dialogue group!
