BeBuddy Newsletter 07/25
Back again to the toughest time of the year – exam period. But hey, there are still some nice things to check out!
<https://magazines.rwth-aachen.de/files/images/layout/nl-trenner.png>
1. New mentees arriving soon – and they need you!
The new winter term is coming, and many international students will join RWTH as freshmen. Most of them will sign up for the BeBuddy program and wait to be matched – maybe with you?
If you're based in Aachen and would like to support one or more mentees, please update your <https://www.rwth-aachen.de/bebuddy/buddy-form> Buddy profile in the database or send us an email with your availability and the number of mentees you'd like to support: <mailto:bebuddy@rwth-aachen.de> bebuddy(a)rwth-aachen.de
Important: You need to have completed the BeBuddy training beforehand.
As a Buddy, you’ll not only support newcomers but also meet other Buddies at our events, announced via the monthly newsletter. Plus, you’ll receive a certificate – also valid for the <https://www.rwth-aachen.de/cms/root/studium/im-studium/engagement-freizeit/…> Certificate International.
Know someone who wants to join? Great! We’re especially looking for Buddies from Faculty 3, 5, 6 and 8. The requirements: at least 2nd semester, B1 level in German, and successful completion of the virtual BeBuddy training. Interested? Newcomers can register via email: <mailto:bebuddy@rwth-aachen.de> bebuddy(a)rwth-aachen.de
We’re looking forward to hearing from you!
