There are two types of activities: inviting deserving and high achieving foreign students to receive higher education of the CUP institutions and providing a platform for scholarship exchange and development.
First, Receiving Higher Education from CUP Institutions.We believe education should be without borders and the pursuit for the best education is universal and should be guided by clear vision, appropriate value, firm leadership and intelligent decision-making.
There are three mean types of activities:
CUP Membership Drive
CUP Universities, mostly from American, welcome select schools in various target countries to become CUP Schools. Each school will designate a CUP Coordinator who helps promote CUP and remind students in their schools to participate in CUP events, which include CUP applications and screening, CUP interviews, CUP Day, etc.
CUP Tours
CUP Universities will periodically make visits to CUP Schools in various countries. On these tours, the universities will host public seminars and individual sessions with parents, students and school counselors. These tours are above and beyond the regular recruitment tours and they represent the two modes of university entries, UFA and UTA simultaneously. Many times, the tours will include university transfer staff who normally only work in the US. Meeting university transfer staff fundamentally changes the perception of attending US universities through community college freshmen admissions.
Social Media
Students will have country specific social media outlets to have scheduled and free flow, spurt of the moment fun exchanges via WeChat groups, FaceBook fans and friends, etc.
Secondly, CUP As A Platform for Scholarly Exchange and Development
Management and faculty in CUP institutions take diverse approaches to global education, supports innovative and cultural appropriate education practices, and formulates policies that are both educationally sound and economically feasible. CUP institutions actively involve management, faculty and staff to be engage in various activities, including:
· Effective leadership and strategies for educational institutions practicing student mobility from secondary schools to higher education to employment,
· Knowledgebase and knowhow of data and information of research, scientific discoveries, and practice of integrating results into practices, connecting education broader cultural and economic purposes, and
· Serving as a platform for best practices in student learning outcomes, innovation, and scholarly exchange.
