‘Destination BU’ videos show depth of determination from International students

Published:

This year’s two winning “Destination BU” videos tell very different stories, but both capture the perseverance and hope that shape the International student experience at Brandon University.

The Destination BU challenge invites incoming International students to create short social-media videos that document their journey from home to BU. The contest highlights both the practical realities and the emotional experience of studying abroad, from farewells and long-haul travel to first impressions of Canada and campus.
