International Buddy Program Coordinator – Sushant Gurung(2023-2024)
Hello everyone!
My name is Saugat Shrestha, and I am thrilled to introduce myself as the newly appointed International Buddy Coordinator for the 2024-25 academic year. I am an international student from Nepal pursuing Psychology as a major and Philosophy and Indigenous Studies as a minor currently in my second year. As the new Buddy Coordinator, I am eager to bring my diverse interests and experiences to create an inclusive and exciting campus life for all of you.
One of my main objectives is to plan and coordinate a series of engaging events that cater to both new and returning students. These events will allow everyone to unite, have fun, and forge meaningful connections. There will be something for everyone, whether through movie nights, beach trips, and ski days.
Having experienced the challenges of being a freshman already, I understand firsthand how daunting it can be for new students to navigate university life, establish connections, and make lasting friendships. As the International Buddy Coordinator, I am committed to leveraging my knowledge, energy, and enthusiasm to ensure that UPEI becomes a welcoming and inclusive space for every one of you.
I am genuinely excited to help you all on this journey of discovering a warm and supportive environment at UPEI, and I wholeheartedly encourage each of you to join in. I am here to help, guide, and ensure you all feel at home on this beautiful campus. Feel free to talk when you spot me on or off campus (You’ll mostly see me at the library, ISO office, or around lounges on campus). Let’s make the 2024-25 academic year unforgettable by creating some cherished memories and lifelong friendships.
Go Panthers!!!
