Malaysian students looking to earn a graduate degree or a bachelor’s degree in the United States will have a new tool at their disposal September 17: the Hobsons Virtual Student Fair (VSF).
The VSF is free and open to students from across Malaysia who are interested in pursuing a bachelor’s degree or a graduate degree at a U.S. university. Much like a traditional student fair, the VSF features booths staffed by university representatives. But because the fair takes place online, it is much more accessible and convenient for students to attend; all they need is an Internet connection.
In the virtual fair environment, Malaysian students will be able to view photos and videos of the U.S. universities, download materials, and chat live with admissions officers, professors, and current students. The booths at the fair are segmented by level—undergraduate and graduate—so students can easily find the schools that offer the degrees they’re looking for.
Parents and counselors are also encouraged to attend the free event to learn about the U.S. universities.
The active hours of the VSF are 12:00hs–20:00hs September 17, and visitors should expect to spend 1.5–2.5 hours visiting the virtual booths and chatting with university staff members. As a bonus, the exhibit hall will remain open for repeat visits for 90 days; while university staff will not be available for chat during this extended time period, all of the videos, photos, and text documents will still be there to review and download. This will give students the flexibility to go back for another look at a school they liked, or even to visit for the first time if they weren’t able to make it to the live event.
Registration for the September 17 fair is now open, and students can sign up quickly at http://tinyurl.com/3jhk8ex . The registration page also features a list of participating universities with links to each school’s website and key information.
