As we conclude our annual Counselor Fly-In Tour, we reflect on the profound impact these initiatives have. These tours provide counselors with a firsthand look at the educational pathways their students will navigate in the U.S. By directly experiencing a variety of universities, counselors are better equipped to guide their students toward the right institutions. This year, we proudly reached a milestone of hosting over 200+ counselors since 2013, representing 28+ countries across the world. Collectively, they have visited 48+ universities in 19+ U.S. states, showcasing the breadth and diversity of American higher education. Why does this in-person experience matter? Walking the campuses, meeting staff, and interacting with current students reveal the unique character and ethos of each institution. Counselors witness firsthand the environments their students might call home, far beyond what rankings and brochures can convey. This deep, nuanced understanding helps counselors match students with universities where they will thrive, not just academically, but culturally and personally. These tours demystify the U.S. educational landscape, allowing counselors to grasp the subtle yet crucial differences between institutions. It’s about discovering where a student will find their best fit, where they will be challenged, and where they will find community. Each visit, each conversation adds layers to a counselor’s ability to recommend a university not just as a place of learning, but as a living, breathing community that fits a student's unique aspirations and needs. We extend our heartfelt thanks to all participating counselors and universities. Your involvement is essential in shaping the future of global education by fostering better understanding and stronger connections across continents.
