During the visit, Halus toured EducationUSA Lahore’s office space and met with the team to review their work across Punjab over the past year. The discussion covered recent outreach efforts, student engagement trends, and operational challenges encountered in delivering advising services in the populous region.
“Meeting Andy was so helpful. Discussions like these allow us to reflect on what’s working on the ground and where students need more support,” said EducationUSA adviser Noorulain Yazdani. “This conversation will definitely help us refine our outreach and advising strategy.”
Mr. Halus expressed appreciation for the team’s dedication, noting that the number of Pakistani students pursuing higher education in the United States continues to grow, with the U.S. remaining one of the top destinations for Pakistani students.
