  • To support internationally focused activities and events such as, Welcome and Arrivals, Cultural Celebration Week and International Education Week.  

We are looking for up to 30 individuals to join and work alongside our existing Board members.  Whether you have been at Kent for a while or have just joined us this September, this is a wonderful opportunity for you to represent and make a difference to your student experience while at Kent.
