• Cultural Support: Glocal Links is an intercultural dialogue program that develops cultural awareness, builds global networks, and promotes acceptance and appreciation of different cultures.

• Social Support: ISS monthly peer socials connect members of the international community at TMU to facilitate out of classroom learning and build friendships in order to enrich the student experience. 

• Family Support: The spouses, partners and families of our students are a vital part of the TMU community. ISS provides resources to help students and their family members navigate life at TMU and in Canada.

• World University Service of Canada (WUSC): This program supports the sponsorship of student(s) each year through the Student Refugee Program. There are also a few events throughout the year to raise awareness on global migration issues, world education, and human rights.
