The Mentor and Integration Committee (MIC) has two main tasks. The first, is to arrange a mentor for all incoming international students who send a request for this. Whenever possible, we try to match internationals students with mentors who study at the same faculty. The most important task of the mentor, is to make his or her international students feel at home in Groningen. They give a short tour, and during the semester they are available for questions. In short, becoming a mentor is the ideal way to experience internationalization in Groningen!

The second task of the MIC is to organize an ‘integration-activity’ every month, which main goal is to stimulate the integration between international and Dutch students. Examples of these activities are canoeing on the canals, celebrating Sinterklaas, ice-skating and a so-called ‘Fox-Hunt’.
