ISLAMABAD: In preparation for their upcoming graduate and post-graduate studies in the United States, approximately 260 students attended orientation sessions hosted by EducationUSA at the United States Educational Foundation in Pakistan (USEFP) in Islamabad, Lahore, and Karachi.
EducationUSA Pakistan Advising Manager Umair Khan congratulated the students on being accepted into American universities and encouraged them to make the most of this opportunity, a press release said.
“You have achieved a great milestone,” Khan said. “Your focus should now be on gaining knowledge, learning about different cultures, facing challenges with a positive attitude and making the most of this educational experience.”
American Embassy Acting Cultural Affairs Officer Maureen Mimnaugh encouraged the students to actively share their own culture with the Americans they encounter.
“In addition to pursuing your studies, you will have a unique opportunity to serve as ambassadors of Pakistan in your American classrooms and communities,” Mimnaugh said. “I am certain that the American students you encounter will be eager to learn more about your background, just as you learn from them about American culture,” Mimnaugh added. Many of the students who participated in the orientation sessions took advantage of USEFP’s free educational advising services earlier.
