Yi-Sin is an international student, and chose to get involved in Volunteer Days organised by the University's Volunteering and Awards Team.
“This opportunity allows me not only to help improve the environment but also to connect with local people, have conversations, and build more diverse friendships...I felt warmly welcomed, a strong sense of teamwork and saw how small efforts can improve a public space...it helped me build a sense of belonging in a new country. Contributing to the community, even in a small way, made the day meaningful and memorable for me."
