ACO Gives Paper at OACAC in Vancover

 

 

 

American College Overseas Chair Mark S. Kopenski and Richmond University Assistant Dean of Admissions Justin Weddle presented a paper on international education at the University of British Columbia in Vancouver, Canada. The Overseas Association of College Admissions Counselors (OACAC) hosts an annual meeting and conference each summer with the goal of uniting international universities and international secondary schools for the benefit of young people around the world. Chair Kopenski, who is also the Dean of Admissions at Richmond in London, spoke on American education outside the US and Justin Weddle provided insight into the transition from an international secondary school to an international university. "The tremendous exposure the American Colleges Overseas receives by being involved in international conferences such as OACAC is invaluable for moving the organization forward," commented Chair Kopenski in his Richmond Hill Office in London. Many ACO students come from international secondary schools around the world and conferences including OACAC attract hundreds of counselors who are highly influential to secondary students in the University admission process.
