Help a student feel at home this holiday season!

Posted by Office of Advancement on November 1, 2022 in General Announcements

The holiday season brings forth a time of tradition and celebration. For many Dalhousie students traveling home to enjoy this time with family is difficult, and so they will instead remain on campus. After shifting to a meal pick-up service in light of the global pandemic for the past two years, we are thrilled to be returning to our cherished in-person tradition of community and celebration— the annual International Student Holiday Dinner.

This December, alumni volunteers, the International Student Centre and the Office of Advancement we will be hosting our ​8th Annual International Student Holiday Dinner. A donation of $30 enables us to invite one student to enjoy a meal in the company of their friends and community. For many of our guests, this is the only holiday meal they will attend, and so with a fundraising goal of $6000, we hope to invite another ​200 students to this year's celebration.

More information and ways to donate, including payroll deduction, are available on our ProjectDal page: https://projectdal.ca/project/international-student-holiday-dinner/
