Discovering a strong sense of community

Kanto Andrianirina R.

“When I started university, I particularly remember a networking event for international students at the Telfer School of Management. Alumni came to talk about their experiences and their journey at the University of Ottawa. I could relate to a lot of what they had to say. I was able to meet new people and the advice they gave me helped me face the obstacles of being an international student with more confidence.”

- Kanto Andrianirina R.
