2012 Third Annual EducationUSA Forum
Designed for international admission and enrollment management professionals at U.S. colleges and universities, the Forum offers practical information and strategies to help expand international student recruitment. Workshop sessions will be presented by EducationUSA experts from around the world, U.S. higher education representatives, and government officials who will offer unique and valuable information on a wide range of topics related to international student mobility to the United States. Attendees will discuss strategies for attracting international students to U.S. colleges and universities. Sessions will focus on traditional as well as virtual recruiting strategies; improving international student services on U.S. campuses; handling student visa issues; tapping foreign government scholarships; and partnering with EducationUSA advising centers around the world.
The Institute of International Education collaborates with the U.S. Department of State’s Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs to promote access to U.S. higher education to global audiences through its support to the EducationUSA network.
Supported by the U.S. Department of State, EducationUSA advising centers located in most every country around the world provide international students with accurate, comprehensive and current information about study opportunities in the United States. EducationUSA advisers promote U.S. higher education to international students, guiding them through the process of choosing a school, preparing an application, financing study in the United States, and applying for visas. This year, EducationUSA regional coordinators and advisers from more than 40 countries will make presentations at the Forum.
