Del 25 de abril al 8 de mayo de 2026, nuestra Career and University Counselor, Mrs. Deisy Nieto, participó en la Gira Global de Consejeros de KIC UnivAssist, recorriendo seis estados de Estados Unidos con el propósito de conocer de cerca el sistema universitario estadounidense, los procesos de admisión y la propuesta académica de diferentes instituciones.

Durante la gira, tuvo la oportunidad de explorar las rutas de transferencia académica en Irvine Valley College y Pasadena City College, así como obtener una visión general de los procesos de admisión y transferencia dentro del sistema educativo estadounidense en instituciones como la Harvard Graduate School of Education. Esta experiencia le permitió comprender cómo, incluso en universidades altamente selectivas, existen diferentes caminos y oportunidades académicas para los estudiantes.

Asimismo, visitó instituciones como San Diego State University, University of San Diego, University of Oklahoma, UMass Boston, Fisher College, University of Connecticut, Stony Brook University, Pace University, Fordham University, William Paterson University of New Jersey, Montclair State University y Loyola Marymount University.

Tanto los community colleges como las universidades compartieron valiosas perspectivas sobre apoyo estudiantil, empleabilidad, internacionalización y acompañamiento al estudiante internacional. Cada visita representó una oportunidad de aprendizaje enriquecedora para continuar fortaleciendo los procesos de orientación universitaria de nuestros estudiantes.

Agradecemos a KIC UnivAssist por esta experiencia transformadora, la cual fortalece el compromiso de la Unidad de Proyección Profesional con la orientación integral de nuestros estudiantes en su exploración académica, elección de carrera y proyección hacia su futuro universitario.

Learning and International Connection in the U.S. Higher Education System

From April 25 to May 8, 2026, our Career and University Counselor, Mrs. Deisy Nieto, participated in the KIC UnivAssist Global Counselor Tour, traveling across six states in the United States with the purpose of gaining firsthand insight into the U.S. higher education system, admission processes, and the academic offerings of various institutions.

During the tour, she had the opportunity to explore academic transfer pathways at Irvine Valley College and Pasadena City College, as well as develop a broader understanding of admission and transfer processes within the U.S. educational system at institutions such as the Harvard Graduate School of Education. This experience provided valuable insight into how, even within highly selective universities, students can access different academic pathways and opportunities.

She also visited institutions including San Diego State University, University of San Diego, University of Oklahoma, UMass Boston, Fisher College, University of Connecticut, Stony Brook University, Pace University, Fordham University, William Paterson University of New Jersey, Montclair State University, and Loyola Marymount University.

Both the community colleges and universities shared valuable perspectives on student support, employability, internationalization, and guidance for international students. Each visit represented an enriching learning opportunity that will continue strengthening the university counseling processes for our students.

We sincerely thank KIC UnivAssist for this transformative experience, which reinforces the commitment of the Career and University Counseling Unit to providing comprehensive guidance to our students throughout their academic exploration, career selection, and preparation for their future academic journey.
