university CIS tour to THE MIDDLE EAST 2012 The CIS University Tour is an excellent opportunity for students and parents to become familiar with the multitude of higher education options that are offered abroad by speaking personally with college and university admissions officers and faculty members. Keep an open mind, ask questions, and think critically about the educational options that are being presented to you. Remember, while you may be inclined to believe that there is only one “right” university for you, the fact is that many universities may suit you and your future goals. Use this event as a unique opportunity to conduct some careful and thoughtful research. This is a process which should be as enjoyable as it is rewarding. www.cois.org WHO’S ON THIS TOUR: BABSON COLLEGE | Wellesley, Massachusetts | USA COLGate UNIVERSITY | Hamilton, New York | USA COlumbia UNIVERSITY | New York, New York | USA EAST CAROLINA UNIVERSITY | Greenville, North Carolina | USA ELON UNIVERSITY | Elon, North Carolina | USA EUGENE LANG COLLEGE THE New SCHOOL FOR LIBERAL ARts | New York, New York | USA GLION INSTITUTE OF HIGHER EducatiON | Clarens | SWITZERLAND HOLLINS UNIVERSITY | Roanoke, Virginia | USA WELCOME TO THE 2012 CIS IE UNIVERSITY | Segovia | SPAIN UNIVERSITY TOUR LEHIGH UNIVERSITY | Bethlehem, Pennsylvania | USA MANhattaNVILLE COLLEGE | Purchase, New York | USA to THE MIDDLE EAST Today you will meet admission representatives from 26 diverse and MARIST COLLEGE | Poughkeepsie, New York | USA prestigious colleges and universities.
