Institute of International
Education
2007 U.S. Higher Education Fairs in
Asia
October 2-21, 2007
Asian countries send the largest number of
foreign students to American colleges and universities. To help your
school establish and maintain a presence in this region, the
Institute of International Education organizes regular education
fairs that provide information to countless Asian student about the
wide U.S. education opportunities available, including boarding
schools, associate degrees/transfer programs, English language
courses, bachelor's degrees, master's and doctoral degrees.
IIE would like to invite you to
participate in the Fall 2007 fairs in Asia.
| Fair
Objectives |
IIE has organized Higher Education Fairs
in Asia since 1982, and our established track record and
expertise offer you an cost-effective and convenient way to
maximize your school's exposure in Asia. Schools are welcome
to join all fairs or select the fairs that best fit their
travel schedule and/or recruitment strategy. Between fairs,
schools are free to work with alumni or local
institutions.
U.S. Higher Education Fairs are
designed to benefit both Asian students and U.S. university
and college representatives by:
| - |
Giving
students, parents, and sponsors a chance at no cost to learn
about opportunities for higher education in the United
States from official, reliable, and legitimate sources of
information; |
| - |
Informing students and parents about the availability
of continuing free educational advising services at U.S.
Department of State-sponsored educational advising
offices; |
| - |
Giving
students, parents, and sponsors an opportunity to meet
face-to-face with official representatives of regionally
accredited U.S. colleges and universities; |
| - |
Providing U.S. university and college representatives
with a well-managed event at reasonable cost at which they
can meet serious prospective students interested in American
higher education; and |
| - |
Providing U.S. university and college representatives
with a comprehensive in-country orientation to inform them
about current factors influencing the flow of students to
the United States. |

| Participation Guidelines |
The fair organizers (“We”), reserve the right in
our sole discretion to enforce the fair guidelines set out on
the fair website in order to maintain the integrity and safety
of our fairs. We reserve the discretion to refuse entry to the
fair venue to any third-party recruiters or agents. Should we
be alerted to any violation of our institution representation
guidelines by the presence of such recruiters or agents during
the course of the fair(s), we reserve the right to require
that the recruiter/agent leave the venue immediately. No
refund or reimbursement will be made to institutions for any
inconvenience caused due to any violation of the fair
guidelines. In of a dispute, the decision of the fair
organizers is final.
1. Only regionally accredited two-year, four-year, and
graduate U.S. institutions may be represented at the IIE
Fairs. English language
and distance learning programs may only participate if
representatives are prepared to provide information and answer
questions about degree programs on the campus of the
regionally accredited universities and colleges of which they
are a part.

Bodies
2. Institutions may be represented by
personnel (faculty, staff, or alumni) sent from the United
States, by a faculty member temporarily residing in Asia on a
research or teaching assignment, or by bona-fide local alumni
with authorization from the university. Official
U.S.-based representatives are best equipped to speak about
the whole institution and current admissions policies, and
carry legitimacy in speaking with students, parents, and
sponsors. Alumni, on the other hand, have the advantage of
speaking the local language, which facilitates communication.
Alumni are also some of the best "salespeople" because they
convey an enthusiasm and affection for their U.S. experience
that U.S. representatives may lack. Using alumni to represent
your institution also saves on travel expenses. IIE believes
the best strategy is to have both U.S.-based and alumni
representatives at your table, if possible. No more than two representatives may man a table
at any one time during the Fairs.
3. As IIE promotes direct
school-to-student communication, no third party recruiters may
participate.
4. All representatives at IIE Fairs must agree
to abide by the ethics and standards set out by NAFSA (including the Code
of Ethics and the Principles
of Good Practice for the Recruitment and Admissions of
International Students) and NACAC (i.e. the Statement of Principles of Good
Practice).
