Airport Greeter Program 

At the beginning of each semester, the Internationalization Office operates an Airport Greeter program for new international students. Greeters, who are student employees, will come to the St. John’s International Airport to greet you and provide useful information about St. John’s and Memorial University. You can discuss the details in your pre-arrival meeting with the Arrival Advisor, which can be arranged by completing your Arrivals Form. 

*Please note that while our airport greeter staff are here to support you and answer any questions you may have, they are unable to cover the cost of your taxi or accommodations. They will ensure you have the guidance you need for a smooth transition. Taxi fares typically range from CAD$30-50.

 

 

Listserv

The Internationalization Office sends out a weekly listserv to all international students. The Listserv is an email which contains a list of important university information, upcoming events happening on campus and in the city, and  job opportunities. To receive the listserv, please send an email to international@mun.ca.
