IIE in partnership with EducationUSA is pleased to announce its first Latin America University Fairs series targeting students interested in Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (STEM) fields. 

The fairs will commence on April 21, 2013 in Mexico and run through May 6, with university fairs and school visits in several cities in Mexico, Brazil, and Chile. The fairs will showcase opportunities from accredited U.S. colleges and universities for Latin American students to study science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM). 

The four STEM areas are currently a major focus in higher education in Latin America and are among the most sought after majors in the region. 

The fairs will also serve to further international student exchanges with the region that are the centerpiece of President Obama’s "100,000 Strong in the Americas," an initiative launched in 2011 to increase international study in Latin America and the Caribbean, and whose purpose is to "foster region-wide prosperity through greater international exchange of students, who are our future leaders and innovators."
