Host Advisers on Your Campus
EducationUSA advisers attend various U.S. higher education training sessions, events, and meetings every year. During their time in the United States, these EducationUSA advisers—who collectively provide information to millions of prospective international students on opportunities to study in the United States and the process of applying—learn more about the diverse programs of U.S. institutions by visiting colleges and universities across the country. Learn how you can showcase your institution.
EducationUSA Forum
The annual EducationUSA Forum, held in Washington, D.C. in July, gives higher education professionals an opportunity to engage with EducationUSA advisers from around the world. Take advantage of the Forum to network with approximately 50 advisers, all 14 Regional Educational Advising Coordinators (REACs), and U.S. Department of State and IIE EducationUSA staff as they present the latest regional and country-specific trends and tips for strategic international recruitment planning. Please join us for the 2019 Forum, July 30-August 1 in Washington, DC. (Visit our Facebook page for Live videos from the 2018 event, and event photos on Flickr.)
EducationUSA Regional Forums
EducationUSA holds regional forums internationally that bring together advisers from one world region and U.S. higher education institutions to share best practices. U.S. higher education professionals are invited to present specialized training sessions and to network with advisers and REACs during these events. Attend the 2019 EducationUSA MENA Regional Forum.
EducationUSA International Student Fairs
EducationUSA runs international student fairs both in-person and online throughout the year. Over 40 fairs with potential for U.S. higher education participation take place each year. Many of these are part of larger multi-city fair circuits that decrease travel costs and maximize recruitment potential.
International Conferences
EducationUSA representatives attend a variety of international higher education association conferences, such as APAIE, EAIE, CAIE, and CIS, to promote U.S. higher education.
