Maryville College Participates in Study Tennessee China Delegation

on
On March 6th, the Study Tennessee China delegation will arrive in Beijing ready to meet prospective Chinese students and their parents. The University representatives will travel to Beijing, Kunming, Harbin, Weifei and Qingdao to promote studying in Tennessee Universities. Key faculty and staff from Maryville College, The University of Tennessee, Pellissippi State, Roane State and Austin Peay will represent the state of Tennessee during the trip.

 Several events are planned for the visit including school visits, admissions interviews, appointments with key education professionals, counselor training workshops, seminars for students about the admission process and also several small university Expos featuring Tennessee universities.

Because some Chinese people are not familiar with the state of Tennessee, the most important goal of the trip is to inform as many students, schools, education advisers as possible about Tennessee universities. As a result, more people are learning about the educational opportunities, affordability and the quality of life in Tennessee. For those Chinese students who have studied in Tennessee, the experience has been very good. Chinese students enjoy the life in Tennessee, and Chinese families like the safe and supportive environment available at Tennessee institutions of higher education.
