Purpose

The International Student Working Group (ISWG) addresses the systemic barriers and inequities faced by international students at Brock University. We take an anti-racist, decolonial, and intersectional approach to improving institutional policies, campus services, and student wellbeing.

• Increase support for students navigating immigration and legal precarity.
• Advocate for fair employment practices and protection against exploitation.
• Improve cultural accessibility of counselling, equity, and support services.
• Build stronger coordination between International Services, Student Wellness & Accessibility Centre, HRE, and other units.
• Centre international student leadership and voices in all initiatives.
