Prior to hitting the road to the Southern provinces, the Education USA team held an information event on Friday October 25, 2013, at the Information Resource Center (IRC) in U.S. Embassy Vientiane.  The presentation was given by Deputy Public Affairs Officer Ken Kosakowski to a group of 30 undergraduate students, who expressed interest in study abroad opportunities in the United States.  The presentation covered general information about the U.S. education system, how to research and apply for universities, as well as student life in the United States.

The presentation was followed with a question and answer session, where students were given promotional materials and practiced speaking English.
