AACC no longer organizes or runs multi-country international student recruitment trips for two-year colleges only. However, we do continue to offer arm-chair recruitment opportunities to our member colleges, work with the U.S. Departments of State and Commerce, consulates and embassies abroad to promote U.S. community colleges, and conduct workshops on international recruitment. Because we understand from many of those who have participated in the past that their colleges’ student numbers have increased as a result of the exposure received on the international student recruitment trips, AACC continues to identify possible partners who, from time to time, can run two-year college fairs overseas.
We will keep sending emails about how your college can recruit through participating in our annual publication, Profiles of U.S. Community Colleges™: A Guide for International Students, and website for international students, Study in America. If you are not already on our email list, those at AACC member colleges can send an email to wwheeler@aacc.nche.edu and request to be added to our lists.
Below is information about international student recruitment trips held in the past.
