ISE Ambassadors
As an incoming international student, you probably have lots of questions to ask, either academically, or more generally about your time at U of T.
What is better than getting feedback from a current U of T student?
The International Student Experience (ISE) Ambassador program connects you with current students.
How to connect with ISE Ambassadors
You can connect with an ISE Ambassador during the first 6 weeks of the academic term in two different ways:
Don’t forget that there are lots of other resources available for international students prior to your arrival, or once in Toronto.
International Student Experience Ambassadors
Claire
Hello all! My name is Claire (any pronouns) and I’m a fourth year student in the Daniels faculty, completing a specialist in Visual Studies and minors in Art History and Writing & Rhetoric.
In addition to working as an ISE Ambassador, I’m also a Campus Tour Guide and the president of the Architecture and Visual Studies Student Union. I’m very passionate about helping other students access resources and opportunities that can help make their university experience as fulfilling as possible!
Aside from work and school, my hobbies include reading, writing, cooking, and running. I can’t wait to connect with you all throughout the upcoming year!
Eshika
Hi everyone! My name is Eshika Sehgal (she/her), a fourth-year student specializing in Industrial Relations and Human Resources with a minor in Political Science. As an international student, I faced many new challenges—feeling lost, homesick, and unsure about what U of T had to offer for international students. Over the past three years, I’ve navigated these experiences and equipped myself with valuable insights and resources. That’s why I joined CIE as an International Student Ambassador.
I’m here to help you navigate your own journey and make the most of your time at U of T. Feel free to reach out to me anytime!
Folu
Hi Everyone!
My name is Folu (He/Him) and I am an International Student from Lagos, Nigeria. I am in my second year at UofT, taking a bachelor’s in mechanical engineering. My interests include cooking, basketball, music (mostly r&b), and working out.
I am enthusiastic about sharing my 1st year experiences with all incoming students regardless of major and really hope to help all of you smoothly transition into the university. Always ready to give support and maybe some artist recommendations.
Grace
Hello everyone! My name is Grace (she/her), and I’m a 5th year doing a double major in International Relations and Political Science student. A fun fact about me is that I love cooking, baking, working out, and reading books related to activism and intersectionality.
I’m thrilled to be supporting the international student community again, whether that’s through our mentorship events, socials, or resource referrals. Hopefully we’ll have a chance to connect throughout the year during our many CIE programming and events!
If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out.
Lakhan
Hi everyone!
As a second-year MBA student at the Rotman School of Management, I have been actively involved in fostering inclusion and diversity within the university community.
My experiences as an international student from India have deeply shaped my passion for creating supportive environments for others. I joined the ISE Ambassador team to extend this commitment, helping new international students navigate their transition to the University of Toronto and ensuring they feel welcomed and empowered in their new academic journey.
Millie
Hello everyone!
My name is Millie (she/her), and I am a second-year graduate student from Taiwan. I am currently pursuing my master’s degree in Language and Literacies Education at OISE. I also completed my undergraduate studies at the University of Toronto, where I majored in Psychology and Cognitive Science.
