The Global PALS (Peer Advisors Lending Support) Program provides current and incoming international students with the opportunity to connect with an upper-year or graduate student who can provide insights and support as you navigate social, cultural and academic life at Carleton University and in Ottawa.

The ISSO has Global Peer Advisors from four different academic faculties who are here to answer your questions and provide helpful advice for any stage in your Carleton experience. They are here to support you in navigating Ottawa and Carleton resources, accessing student support services, getting involved in campus life, familiarizing yourself with Canadian culture, and much more. They are available via email and Microsoft Teams video chat. To find out more and connect with the Global PALS, visit the Global PALS page.

Each month, the Global Peer Advisors share their tips for success on the @SLRavens Instagram page. In December, you will find tips for preparing for winter and making the most of Ottawa’s longest season!
