Turn your Questions into Meaningful Connections

Schulich’s International Ambassador Leads are current graduate students
who connect with admitted international students as they consider their
offer of admission. Through one-to-one conversations, our ambassadors
share honest, student-to-student perspectives on life at Schulich and what
it’s like to be part of our graduate community.

If you’re weighing your options and deciding whether Schulich is the right fit
for you, these conversations are designed to help you feel informed,
confident, and supported in your decision.

Ask an ambassador about:

  • Why they chose Schulich
  • The student experience and campus culture
  • Career goals and professional growth at Schulich
  • Building community and support networks
  • Living in Toronto as an international student
  • Transitioning to life in Canada and at Schulich
