UQAM seeks hosts for international students over the holidays (apply by Dec. 6, 2026)
For 19 years UQAM’s «Ensemble pendant les Fêtes!» pairs about 100 international students annually with campus hosts for meals, cultural outings and holiday celebrations. Info sessions: Nov. 19 (R‑2240, 12:45–13:45) and Dec. 3 (online, same time). Registration deadline: December 6, 2026.
Run by UQAM’s student success and alumni community services, the «Ensemble pendant les Fêtes!» program helps international students who may be alone during the holiday season. Roughly 100 students are matched each year with hosts from the university community to share meals, cultural or sporting outings and celebration events. Interested hosts complete an online form; international students register via a separate link. The initiative also organizes a winter clothing drive (coats, hats, gloves) with drop‑off at room A‑M920.
