There are several events coming up in the next two weeks in the world of College Counseling, both on-campus and off!
Firstly, for those of you interested in studying in the United States, EducationUSA is hosting a college fair from 13:00 to 16:00 at the Arnoma Grand Hotel (Chit Lom) tomorrow, March 2nd. Representatives from over 50 American colleges and universities will be available to speak with you about their institutions. A smaller group of schools is visiting ISB today (Friday, March 1st), but for those who could not attend, this is a great opportunity to catch these schools before they leave Bangkok!
Mr. Golas and Mr. Weiser will be available on Monday, March 4th, at the G10 Course Information Session for any students or parents who may have questions about how curriculum may impact the university search and admissions process. As a reminder to all G10 students: you will be meeting with your college counselor on either Monday, March 11th, or Tuesday, March 12th, during your free period to discuss your plans for 11th and 12th Grade curriculum.
On Tuesday, March 5th, we will host the next installment of our monthly Parent College Counseling Coffees – this one will be in the MPB2 at 8:00am and focus on higher education in the United Kingdom and Hong Kong. Also: stay tuned for more information about some special workshops coming up in mid-March about student life and university application tips in the UK.
Then, on Saturday, March 9th, those of you considering hospitality, hotel, and tourism management should attend École Hotelière de Lausanne’s presentation at the Conrad Hotel downtown titled, “Hospitality, What’s Next?” which will explore the future of the hospitality industry and provide an opportunity to learn more about EHL from admissions officers and recent alumni. Registration for the event is required here. EHL will also be visiting ISB on Monday, March 11th, during lunch.
And a final note to G11 students: please make sure to book your Junior Conferences!
