Spring Recruitment Tour 2010 Agenda

Testimonial - Mount Ida College

This was the second recruitment tour for Mount Ida College with ELS-AEC, and once again we were thoroughly impressed. The Silk Road Tour to Turkey and China far exceeded our expectations. The student fairs, agent workshops, and commercial service briefings covered all of the bases that we hoped for on this tour, and we even received student applications onsite at the CEE Fair. International student recruitment is a tricky business, given the number of variables that need to be accounted for. But working with ELS-AEC has been great for us, as they truly understand the needs of a small private college like Mount Ida. We look forward to a long partnership with ELS-AEC.

"From the perspective of the MBA program at California Lutheran University, we found the agent workshops conducted by ELS to be one of the most effective and efficient recruitment mechanisms we have ever experienced."

Testimonial - Hawai’i Pacific University

"Through the Year of the Rat Tour I was able to confirm my beliefs in ELS. Namely, that they are a highly professional organization with an eye to detail and excellent connections around Asia. I am certain that they are and for the foreseeable future will be one of the major players in language instruction around the globe. I found their connections with educational agents to be second to none and their personalized service and dedication to their partners’ success without equal. Over the years, they have assembled an all-star staff of whose abilities I have full confidence. My satisfaction with the HPU-ELS partnership continues to grow with each month that we work together and I ardently believe that they will be a large part of our success in the Asian market for years to come.

Testimonial - Dominican University of California

“As a result of the agent workshops, I got to understand the type of schools Chinese students are looking for and the kind of major disciplines they are seeking to study. This ultimately helps me identify what resources my university needs to further develop in order to meet the demands of Chinese students. In short, my time in China was well spent and I thank ELS Language Centers for their efforts in organizing this event.”

Testimonial - University of North Dakota

“The fact that the agents had been vetted by ELS made a big difference in that we didn’t have to worry about wasting time on agents who were not qualified or who may be unethical... we were able to spread our message to a large number of agents in a very short time. It was a very effective use of time and I am sure we will see the results soon.”

-Ms. J. Colleen Berry, Assistant Professor
University of North Dakota

Testimonial - College of Southern Nevada

“A tremendous opportunity… I can’t imagine a more effective way for us to do so much in such a short time. The work that I was able to do in the four days of agent visits would usually take 16 tiresome days to complete. My only regret is that it will be difficult to capitalize on the experience because the quality of agents was so high and there so many great leads at each location.”

-Mr. Scott Naus, International Center
College of Southern Nevada

Testimonial - Golden Gate University

“I am extremely grateful that Golden Gate University had a chance to participate in their ELS-sponsored tour of China. The opportunity to meet with reputable and reliable agencies was extremely valuable. We have already (less than a week after the tour) moved ahead on establishing official representational agreements with several of them and we have already started receiving applications from interested students.”

“The ELS-arranged briefings by US Commercial Service and Consular representatives were absolutely first rate, far more informative and encouraging than many such presentations I've seen in the past. The agents that ELS introduced us to were informed, enthusiastic and anxious to know more about our institutions. The hard work, dedication and expertise of the ELS staff who organized and accompanied the group were truly "above and beyond" my wildest expectations. THANK YOU, ELS! for this superb opportunity to break into the China market and hit the ground running!”
