Act as a buddy during the upcoming summer term 2025 ***New mentees arriving soon*** The new summer term is about to start. A new exciting phase, especially for all our new international freshmen! Many of them will sign up for the BeBuddy program as a mentee, soon waiting to be matched with a Buddy. If you are interested in supporting a new international student (or more than one) and you are mostly on site in Aachen, please update your <https://www.rwth-aachen.de/bebuddy/buddy-form> Buddy profile in the database so we can match you with a mentee. You can also write us an email to: <mailto:bebuddy@rwth-aachen.de> bebuddy@rwth-aachen.de with your dates of availability and the number of mentees you would like to support. Of course, being trained as a buddy is a prerequisite for that. Next to becoming friends with your mentees, you will also have the opportunity to get to know other buddies during our events, announced in our monthly Newsletter and you’ll receive a certificate for your buddy activity which also serves as a component for the <https://www.rwth-aachen.de/cms/root/studium/Im-Studium/Engagement-Freizeit/Engagement-International/~bqxh/Zertifikat-Internationales/> Certificate International. If you have friends who would also like to become active as a buddy, please spread the word. We are always looking for new buddies (especially faculty 3, 5 and 6 are needed).The only thing they have to do is to pass the <https://www.rwth-aachen.de/cms/root/Die-RWTH/Profil/Internationalisierung/Veranstaltungen/~cght/Zertifikat-Internationales/> virtual BeBuddy training. Being at least in the 2nd semester and German language skills on a B1 level are obligatory. If they fulfill these prerequisites, they are welcome to register for the BeBuddy training via email to <mailto:leonie.hafen@zhv.aachen-rwth.de> leonie.hafen@zhv.aachen-rwth.de. We look forward to hearing from you! <https://magazines.rwth-aachen.de/files/images/content_newsletter/Bilder%20-%20Abteilung%202.2%20-%20Betreuung/BeBuddy%20Newsletter/DSCF6731_cropped.JPG> <https://magazines.rwth-aachen.de/files/images/content_newsletter/Bilder%20-%20Abteilung%202.2%20-%20Betreuung/BeBuddy%20Newsletter/IMG_7195_1.JPG> Save the date!
