62 書院發展 • RC DEVELOPMENT 澳大新語 • 2025 UMAGAZINE 32 for all members—a place that promotes social integration, cultural awareness, and the cultivation of a global mindset. This environment further strengthens students’ sense of belonging through mentoring programmes, including sports groups for football and volleyball, Kizomba and Capoeira dance classes, weekly culinary exchange gatherings, local excursions, and other experiential learning opportunities. These activities connect new and senior students, helping them build relationships while also enhancing academic skills, improving social and emotional wellbeing, and fostering leadership and identity. Meeting the Needs of International Students: MCMC’s Commitment to Goodness and Beauty Beyond the virtue of truth, MCMC demonstrates its commitment to the virtues of goodness and beauty in education by prioritising the physical and mental wellbeing of international students. Adapting to a new environment can be challenging, as international students often navigate an unfamiliar academic system, overcome language barriers, manage culture shock and homesickness, handle financial pressures, and embrace newfound personal independence. To help international students overcome these concerns, MCMC goes beyond fostering a supportive learning and social environment; it proactively identifies and supports students with special needs. The college’s residential staff and student leaders receive specialised training to provide timely assistance to students in need. In addition, in collaboration with the Student Affairs Office, MCMC has recruited a Portuguese-speaking counsellor to assist students from the Lusophone community. MCMC’s commitment to internationalisation is grounded in a strategic and holistic approach. The college not only strives to create an inclusive and welcoming environment for international students but also emphasises academic success, cross-residential college course participation, international partnerships, and faculty professional development. Many non-residential fellows and academic staff actively participate in in-house training programmes, further enhancing the college’s ability to provide comprehensive support for students. Through academic assistance, workshops, and access to blended-learning resources, MCMC ensures that students are well-equipped to succeed both inside and outside the classroom.
