Dalhousie University: Refugee Students

dalhousie university: We do a lot before their arrival, facilitate their rooms, get their classes set up, and stuff like that, according to Metro News. Once they're here, we're really just their friends, said Dobson. In Dobson's second year at Dalhousie University, the now fourth-year political science student became involved in the World University Service of Canada WUSC an organization that supports refugee students coming to Canada for school. Students like Dobson also help the new students with things like applying for student loans, scholarships, and just getting them familiar with Halifax and Nova Scotia. Before September 2016, WUSC raised money to bring four refugee students to Dalhousie. She has served as the student refugee program coordinator for the Dalhousie chapter of WUSC for the past two years. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
