Program Highlights

US University Education Fair - Penang 2012

On the heels of the EAP Triennial Conference, which included an education fair that was attended by over 75 US college and universities, a portion of the representatives traveled to Malaysia's Penang island to participate in EducationUSA's first education fair held in Penang. Approximately two hundred students and parents took advantage of speaking face-to-face with the fifteen colleges that registered for the fair. In addition, we were pleased to have College Board and ELS available to answer questions. Also, many parents and students took advantage of speaking with the US Embassy Visa Consular concerning specific student visa questions. All in all, the immediate feedback that we received from reps and students was very positive. We hope to continue holding an EdcationUSA fair in Penang in the future.

Liberty University Visited the Design and Purpose class at Dalat International School

On Monday, March 12th, a delegation of students as well as one of the Vice Presidents from Liberty University invaded Dalat's Design and Purpose class of junior students to sing the praises of Liberty. Both Johnny, the VP of Executive Projects, and the students shared facts about Liberty as well as their personal stories of how they decided upon Liberty and the impact it has had in their lives. The D & P students listened intently and left carrying a Liberty string backpack that had brochures for them to refer to later on to see if that might be the "right fit" for them.
