Program Highlights

High School Outreach Programs

This center organized one outreach program with high school students and participated in a college fiar organized by the International Community school. The college fiar hosted about 15 US based colleges. Our center used this opportunity to dispaly its resources, which cna be checked out by interested students on loan basis, gave away brochures on the services it provides, its contact address, and information related to how to successfully apply for F1 visa. The centre's table was by far the most popular destination for all the native students.
