EducationUSA, the U.S. Department of State's network of international advising centers, is collecting promotional videos from U.S. colleges as a free service to connect students overseas with U.S. admission offices. To give international students easier access to the informational videos, EducationUSA will display all of them on its YouTube channel.

 

EducationUSA has been ramping up its efforts to disseminate its Web-based tools for students and professionals and it has been connecting with students, counselors and admission officers through Twitter, Facebook and over 70 videos already posted to its YouTube channel.

 

To include your video as a "favorite" on the EducationUSA YouTube channel, email Marty Bennett, EducationUSA Marketing Coordinator, with the URL address to your video. The video must already be on YouTube. For more information, visit Marty Bennett's blog.

 

Postsecondary institutions should take advantage of the international recruiting opportunities on the EducationUSA Website, which includes student demographic information, free advertising, and a resource library. An earlier Admitted blog entry contains useful information about the Web resources available for international student recruitment, and an introductory video from NACAC outlines the first steps to partnering with EducationUSA.
