Education Advising Outreach to Chancellor College and the Polytechnic American Corners

The Public Affairs Section (PAS) recently conducted two programs of education advising outreach at the Chancellor College American Corner and the Polytechnic American Corner.  Educational Advisor, Martin Kanjadza held presentations as well as one-on-one meetings with college students on study opportunities in the US.  The presentations offered objective information to students from a wide range of departments on how they can create individual plans for graduate study in the US.  Topics of interest to students included accreditation, admission requirements, school calendar year, standardized tests, grading system and financial aid.

This outreach effort also provided an opportunity for the Education Advisor to offer the much needed training to the American Corner Coordinators, which will enable them to provide advice on an ongoing basis.  The advisor shared his knowledge and skills with the Corner Coordinators on advising techniques, developing advising resources, testing, advising membership, reporting, and office management among other things.  This outreach was another positive step towards solidifying the Public Affairs and the American Corner partnerships.
