Join the NZISA Roadshow – happening now!
The Roadshow is an opportunity to welcome students who have recently arrived from their home countries and provide them with in-person networking opportunities.
A range of guest speakers will address each event, sharing their experiences and insights. Students will be able to connect with the guest speakers, international student support staff, as well as with each other.
Many agencies and organisations will also be present at Roadshow events, including Education New Zealand Manapou ki te Ao.
The first roadshow event took place in Christchurch last week, while the second event starts at 5pm TODAY in Dunedin:
Christchurch 16 September 2022
Dunedin 22 September 2022
Auckland 29 September 2022
Wellington 6 October 2022
NZISA President Vikram Selvaraj
NZISA President Vikram Selvaraj says this is a very special opportunity.
“Starting with Christchurch, where I’m based, was a great feeling for me personally. The idea for the Roadshow was so students could rebuild confidence, connect with other students and hear about the support that’s available.
The panel discussion in Christchurch included a range of speakers with an interest in international education.
“Students who attended felt inspired by the panel discussion, and we are hoping that we will have this event again next year.
“We’re looking forward to the next three Roadshow locations and connecting with many more international students.”
Students can find more details and sign up to attend the events through the NZISA Facebook page.
