Office of International Affairs Volunteer Recruitment for Buddy-Buddy Program

A. Purpose of Establishment: 

In order to enhance NCKU to become a world-class university, campus internationalization is one of the recent development priorities. In recent years, NCKU has actively promoted exchange students' mutual visits and studies. It is expected that the number of foreign students on campus will increase year by year in the future. In order to respond to this trend and enable incoming foreign students to adapt to campus life at the early stage of their arrival, a reception volunteer group is specially established to provide related services.

B. Service content : 

To assist in degree students and exchange students to get familiar with Tainan and NCKU

C. Service Requirement:  

Students who serve as reception volunteers need to be fully received within the required time schedule in order to be able to serve as reception volunteers. 

Reception time for the whole process: one week before and after the start of the semester, contact by email before the semester begins, and assist in person after the semester begins.

D. Recruiting target: 

Students with enthusiasm and basic English communication skills.

E. Application schedule:
