Exchange & Transfer Committee

 March Hiring 2015: Round 3 STUDENT LIFE EXECUTIVE POSITION DESCRIPTIONS Exchange & Transfer Committee The Exchange and Transfer Committee (ETC) works to integrate incoming exchange students into the general Queen’s population, while also providing experiences that greatly improve their time spent in Canada. This is a committee unlike any other offered at Queen’s – our events run on a weekly and bi-­‐weekly basis, designed to maintain consistent interaction to create the best “Exchange Experience” for each and every individual. We have an abundance of events to achieve this year: including International Pub Crawls, annual trips to Montreal and elsewhere, Exchange Nights, an International Flip Cup Tournament, our Semi-­‐
Formal, and many events new to this year. To our exchange students, ETC and our events have been called a high point of exchange for many years running as a result of our enthusiastic atmosphere, genuinely interested and outgoing members, and consistent ability to deliver memorable experiences between Canadians and Exchange students. Every year our events see extremely high demand from Queen’s students as well; ETC is one of the few chances most Queen’s students are given to meet students from around the world in a casual and fun environment. This committee is for anyone who genuinely enjoys making lifelong international friends and wants to create the most memorable experiences possible.
