ELI attended the largest educational fair in Latin America

ELI attended the largest educational fair in Latin America
Staten Island, New York City
February 2019
 
The English Language Institute (ELI) attended the largest student recruitment fair in Latin America, in the city of Sao Paulo in Brazil last February 2019. With more than 14,000 students registered for the fair, ELI attended with a stand promoting its Intensive English Program offered in Staten Island in New York City.
 
BMI is one of the largest educational fair organizations and they offer big events for universities and institutions. BMI organizes fairs in Asia, Europe, and Latin America. Sao Paulo is probably the largest in the world and definitely the largest in Latin America. ELI was invited to promote its English programs. It was a great success since hundreds of Brazilian students came to the ELI stand and asked about learning English in New York and studying undergraduate and graduate programs at the College of Staten Island.
 
Fair

 
ELI was represented by its director, Mr. Gonzalo Villena, who not only promoted ELI but also CSI and the CUNY system. The College of Staten Island was the only CUNY school that attended this important fair and many Brazilian students and parents were impressed by the largest CUNY campus located in a streategic location in New York City and the English program offered.
 
The United States was the country of honor and the US General Consulate in Sao Paulo opened the event that lasted two days in Febryary 16 and 17, 2019.
 
ELI fair

 
ELI has received many Brazilian students along the years and it is willing to welcome more Brazilians soon. Some Brazilian students have already registered to come during the summer of 2019 and will study at ELI for two weeks, live on campus at the Dolphin Cove student residence, and have many field trips in Staten Island and Manhattan.
 
ELI had a great help with its representative partner, Inter Study, that officially represents ELI in Brazil and recruits students to attend classes at ELI.

ELI thanks BMI and Inter Study for helping the College of Staten Island attend the largest educational fair in Latin America and looks forward to welcoming more Brazilian students in New York City at the English Language Institute!
