INTERNATIONAL COUNCILLOR
Charlie Sun
This term is a well-organized and pre-planned semester for the current events I am working on. With the great collaboration with VUSAC members, the Dean’s office, and VISA team, most of the implementation of the event has been much smoother and more manageable. I have planned four events for international students this winter semester, and we have successfully launched our first culture celebration event - the Lunar New Year celebration; it achieved great success with above 200 students' turn out rate and earned a tremendous amount of positive feedback from Victoria students. Also, we received a lot of love and smiles from the Valentine photo booth; students enjoyed the loved atmosphere and found a relaxing time in the middle of midterm week.

Also, I am planning a bubble tea chat time event to further foster community bonds, connection, and friendship by providing opportunities for conversation; and thinking about a networking event at the end of the semester so people can keep in touch with each other after the summer.
We have had a great collaboration with the reactivated Victoria International Students Association (VISA), successfully launching the first social event together. I am looking forward to future collaboration together to facilitate a strong bond team and work ethic to serve international students in the community. I hope to create a pro-social community value on collaboration, sharing, and caring; actively structuring a community that rewards members who contributed positively to this community. We, as a team, aim to provide greater opportunities for international students thriving in this community and global society.
