University of Akron Rep Connects with Romanian Students in Bucharest

University of Akron representative Jennifer Dixon visited Bucharest this past week to connect with Romanian high school students. The Fulbright Educational Advising Center-EducationUSA team was happy to lend a hand in her outreach efforts.
On February 18, we accompanied our guest to “I. L. Caragiale” National College, where an average 70 students (mainly 10th and 11th graders) gathered to hear the presentation, eager to learn more about studying in the U.S. in general and UAkron in particular.
Our guest delivered an engaging presentation on study and networking opportunities at the University of Akron (Ohio), highlighting UAkron’s rich academic offering, the various forms of financial aid available and its vibrant campus life.
We took the opportunity to tell participants a few words about the resources awaiting them at FEAC-EducationUSA and ways we can help them prepare strong applications to universities in the U.S.
