SSU Int'l Student Buddy Form - Int'l Buddy
The Sonoma State International Student Buddy program helps international students attending Sonoma State with their transition to a new country and culture.  

The Sonoma State International Student Buddy program pairs a current SSU student (U.S. buddy) with a new international student (international buddies). U.S. buddies help their international buddies through the transition into the new culture. In exchange, U.S. buddies gain not only friendships but also insights into other cultures.

We encourage our buddies to try to attend at least some campus events together. Our International Education Exchange  Council  (IEEC) hosts events almost every week!

By volunteering to be an International Student Buddy, I acknowledge that I am committing to the following:

- Meeting with my SSU Buddy at least once a week for as long as you are able for the semester

- Being active when communicating with your SSU Buddy 

- Not taking advantage of of your SSU Buddy 

For example:

It's okay to ask for a ride, but don’t expect them to say yes

It’s okay if they can’t meet with you more than once a week

They aren’t required to help you with your homework 

- Being respectful of my SSU Buddy’s cultural, religious and political beliefs

- Willing to participate in International Education Exchange Council Events along with my SSU Buddy

I am open to having 2 U.S. Student Buddies *
