3 ELC STUDENT INTERVIEW: Q: What is your name? A: Salman Baig Q: What country are you from? What did you study there? A: I am from Pakistan, from the largest city in Pakistan, the City of Karachi. I previously obtained my bachelors of Electrical Engineering and worked at the biggest telecommunications company in Pakistan, and did my duties there for 3 years. Q: Why did you choose to study in Canada? A: After brainstorming with my friends and teachers, I have come to know that Canada provides a good education system. It is an undeniable fact that Canada is providing education without any discrimination of race, gender or religion. When studying abroad, a big concern is safety issues. Canada is a peaceful country. Q: What program do you plan on taking here at Lakehead University? A: Back in Pakistan, I obtained my bachelors in Electronics Engineering. I am going to pursue my Masters in Electrical Engineering in the telecommunications field. Q: How are you liking Canada so far? A: It's great, I am enjoying it. There are new and lovely people. But I am a little afraid of the weather (ha ha). Q: What is your favourite thing you have learned in Canada? A: Here in Canada, there are a lot of people from different countries. It has been great to learn and explore the different cultures and traditions here. Q: How are you liking the City of Thunder Bay? A: I like Thunder Bay so far, I visited Kakabeka Falls. I love nature, basically. Q: How are you liking the ELC program so far? A: I have made a lot of friends and I am looking forward to the rest of the semester. Q: What has been your most enjoyable event? A: I enjoyed the ice hockey! I have some experience playing field hockey so it was great to see a live ice hockey game.

4 VOLUNTEER SPOTLIGHT: VIJAY BABU My Name is Vijay Babu. I am from Chennai city in Southern India. I joined Lakehead in the Master's in Computer Science program for the Winter 2016 term. I came to Thunder Bay on December 27th, I landed at the Thunder Bay airport at 2:00 a.m. in the dead of night in Winter. So one could possibly imagine what kind of thoughts might be running in the mind of an international student who is stepping into a new country for the first time. The first feeling one gets is loneliness. Coming from a different country with a different culture (and of course weather), most of us international students find it a bit lonely and might even feel alien initially. Same was the story with me. So much was my anxiety during my initial days that I thought of going back to my home country. Hadn't it been for the support provided by my friends here, I don't know what might have happened to me. I didn't know anyone in Thunder Bay before I came. I contacted a few Indian students here through Facebook and they helped me with everything from finding me a temporary accommodation to finding a place to rent for me. We don't know each other well. To be honest we knew nothing about each other before I came here. Yet they took care of me as a friend. The only common thing about us was that we were students from a faraway land. They told me about their struggles when they first landed in Thunder Bay and how it motivated them to help other students who come to Thunder Bay. So It was this bond of friendship and brotherhood that I wanted to nurture by paying it forward and continue the chain. is our new home and in order to feel at home we need to fit in and for that all we need is a little support, a friend to talk to, a friend to share our difficulties and a friend to practice our language skills. I wanted to be that friend who will be there by their side and make them feel at home, for if students don't support each other who will? Besides volunteering for the ELC program helped me in a lot of ways. I got to know about different cultures and found new friends like Spark, Jongcheol, Charlie, Charlotte, and Jenny. I thank Jenny for giving me this opportunity. Jenny is such a friendly and wonderful person that I think hardly any of us might feel away from home. Overall it was a totally different and new experience for me helping them fit in and learn the English language. I am happy that I was a part of this wonderful program. That's what inspired me to volunteer for the English Language Centre, to help fellow international students overcome the language barrier and fit in. For us international students this

5 Interested in becoming a volunteer? WELCOME KATRINA! The English Language Centre at Lakehead University has strong community connections within Thunder Bay, Ontario. Our program thrives with the involvement of volunteers. They share their passions with the students, support them as they explore our beautiful city, build friendships and memories that will last a lifetime. Contact Jenny Veal at: or jveal@lakeheadu.ca "Hi, my name is Katrina and I am 22 years old. I was born and raised in Ottawa, Ontario. I have one older brother and a dog named Shadow. I did my undergraduate degree at Lakehead University in Kinesiology. I am now doing my Professional year for my education degree at Lakehead as well. In my spare time, I enjoy being active and playing sports. I play hockey for the Lakehead University Women s team; I am a senior defenseman in my 4 th season. I look forward to getting to know all of you! STUDENT TESTIMONIAL For more information please contact Jenny Veal Hi everyone. My name is Ana Dornelas, and I am from Brazil. I would like to share a little bit of experience in Canada, at jveal@lakeheadu.ca or specifically in Thunder Bay, studying English and doing part of my program, Chemical Engineering, at Lakehead University. How could I summarize the best 18 months of my life? What a hard work. Let me try it! I arrived in Canada in July Living in a country with different culture, people and language was a great challenge for me; however, I like challenges, I got motivated to learn and live here. During my first six months, I attended English classes. From those classes and events promoted by LU`s International Office, I not only improved my English skills, but also I contacted with people from different countries, which was such an amazing experience. In 2015, I started my studies at university. The structure of the laboratories, library and classrooms besides Ana Dornelas the qualified professionals were fundamental for the learning. Recife, Pernambuco About my experience in this city, I would say that it was cold Federal University of Pernambuco but rewarding. Here I met awesome people, learned more about myself and played Winter sports which I have never BRAZIL tried before. Finally, I have to say that Canada welcomed me, showed me how its people are friendly, educated and generous. Here, I made myself at home despite being kilometers away from my birth country.
