ACS International

Got the travel bug? Interested in international issues? Many ACS students are, and there are lots of ways for you to expand your horizons! Below is a list of various international opportunities for ACS students. Some of them (like the exchange programs), involve going away, but others can be done right here in Toronto! For example, you can mentor an international student, or get involved with the International Issues Discussions Series (external link) .

If you would like further information about any of these opportunities, please contact
