Volunteers Needed for Law School Buddy Program for Fall Exchange Students
Hello! We are looking for JD volunteers for the Fall 2014 semester to serve as law school buddies to a great, enthusiastic group of approximately fifteen foreign exchange students. For many of the foreign exchange students, this is their first time in New York and the United States. Ideally, buddies can provide advice about law school life, classes and NYC to the foreign exchange students. This fall, we will have exchange students from:
Denmark
Belgium
Germany
Singapore
Argentina
France
Italy
Netherlands
To encourage interaction, we offer an allowance of $20 to help subsidize an initial get-together over coffee, etc between a foreign exchange student and each buddy. This is a great opportunity for JD students to get to know other foreign law school students and get different perspectives on legal life! You can also get access to first-hand experience in specific countries and universities with which the Law School may have exchange and study-abroad programs (and maybe even practice your foreign language skills).
If interested, please contact globalvisitors@nyu.edu with your name, year, and interest and we will be happy to provide more details.
