Volunteers Needed for Law School Buddy Program for Exchange Students
Hello! We are looking for volunteers for the Fall 2013 semester to serve as law school buddies to a great, enthusiastic group of approximately twelve foreign exchange students from all over the world. For many of the foreign exchange students, this is their first time in New York and the United States. We’d like to match a J.D. volunteer as a “law school buddy” for each foreign exchange student. Ideally, buddies can provide advice about the law school life, classes and NYC to the foreign exchange students.
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 J.D. 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. This year we have students from various countries including Germany, China, Singapore, Denmark and Brazil. If interested, please contact globalvisitors@exchange.law.nyu.edu and we will be happy to provide more details.
