EducationUSA Pavilion at NAFSA 2010 Expo Hall

Next week will be a banner time for EducationUSA.  After years of being confined by a 10 x 10 booth in a sea of exhibitors at the annual NAFSA conference Expo Hall, EducationUSA will now have its own pavilion and room to breath.

With nearly 80 EducationUSA advisers representing 55 countries, there will be significant traffic in and around the booth.  We've put together a schedule of what will be occurring at the pavilion throughout the open hours of the Expo Hall.  We encourage any of our higher education colleagues who will be at the NAFSA conference to stop by to pick up the latest resources on EducationUSA, sign up for secure login access to our new site, meet advisers and REACs from around the world, hear presentations on relevant topics about our services for the higher ed community, the Opportunity program, how our centers can assist in study abroad, and our new EdUSA Connects platform for web meetings.

Of course, there will be about two dozen sessions our advisers will be presenting at during the conference, so do bookmark any of the sessions that may be of interest to you.

And last but not least there is the always popular EducationUSA - Embassy Dialogue Committee Country Fair on Wednesday from 3-5pm where every advisers will be present.  Do stop by to pick up center-country fact sheets that will give you the necessaries on each of the centers present.

See you in K.C.!
