The EducationUSA Eurasia Tour is now in its 10th year of engaging the U.S. higher education community with talented students in the region. Due to the on-going obstacles the global pandemic has brought to international travel and large gatherings, we are moving the fair online this year. This is the second year we are collaborating with EducationUSA advisers in Central Asia to promote opportunities for study in the U.S. to local audiences. By studying in the U.S., students from Central Asia and Eurasia gain valuable knowledge, skills, and connections they cannot get anywhere else, and you can find many of these U.S. educated alumni among the leaders in politics, education, and business in their home countries and throughout the world.
To maximize your time and resources, several countries will be grouped together to allow you to reach more students at once. Russia will have a stand-alone fair, which will be promoted as a country-wide event on October 24 to accommodate all of the country’s time zones. Ukraine, Armenia, and Moldova will be together on October 31, and this is the first-time ever that Moldova is participating in the Eurasia Tour. The fair virtual tour will wrap up on November 7 and include Azerbaijan, Belarus, and Georgia. While the advisers in the region are experts at virtual programming and collectively host hundreds of virtual events a year on a regular basis, this will be their first time hosting a virtual fair. They are excited about this opportunity to bring more U.S. higher education institutions and students together in this virtual format than would normally be able to travel in any given year.
Please keep an eye out for upcoming webinars (TBD) to explain the technical aspects of the virtual fair platform, as well as, country-briefing webinars to provide you with the latest information and trends on recruiting in our countries.
