new – international students

This is the basic format of the questions I have sent the chaplains to prepare for the interview. It is slightly adapted to suit each chaplain before sending it.

1.    Please introduce yourself
(e.g. My name is… I am the chaplain of.. and my role involves…)
2.    Please briefly explain the beliefs of your chaplaincy
3.    How are the university students involved in your community
(e.g. do they regularly attend services, meetings?
are they involved in other areas such as leadership, administration, etc)
4.    Is your community quite international? Please explain this more.
(e.g. do you know how many nationalities are represented,
do you communicate with other communities of your religion around the world,etc)
5.    Do you have any advice or thoughts you would like to pass on to new international students coming to the university?
(e.g. do you feel they will feel welcome here,
are they any areas you feel they should be careful or wary about)
6.    Is there anything else you would like to add?

I have given example answers but please do not feel limited to answer in that format. If there are any questions you feel confused about, please contact me. Or if there are any you would prefer not to answer, we will happily remove them. The last question is for you to add anything that you feel we missed out and that you believe would be useful to our project.
