Office of Global Engagement
We currently support over 425 international students from 34 countries who have made Vancouver Island their home away from home. For those seeking to immerse themselves in another culture, there are various opportunities available for study and work abroad through our office. Additionally, we offer a range of workshops, activities and events to celebrate and create awareness of our diversity. The staff at OGE are dedicated to support the success of students.
Thank you for connecting with our team. You can drop in or contact us any time Monday to Friday from 9 am to 4 pm. We would love to hear from you.
