Hello my little sweet potatoes! This week, I'm joined by Rob, Marissa, Lucia, and Daniyar! They, along with Eric, make up a team called Connecting Our Students here in Sault Ste. Marie. They are a nonprofit organization dedicated to making our city more accessible and easier to navigate for international students. From something as simple to how to properly dress for the cold winters, to as serious as reporting a hate crime - they are on a mission to connect international students to whatever services and supports they need! Check them out or get involved:
