Congratulations to all 26 CCI Program and 10 Global UGRAD Program participants from Indonesia who will begin their study in the U.S. in Fall term 2022.

This year’s awardees hail from 20 provinces of Indonesia, and they will undertake their programs at more than 15 community colleges and universities across the U.S.

On May 24 and 25, 2022, AMINEF held an online pre-departure orientation (PDO) to prepare the grantees for their study and life in the U.S.

The opening session began with remarks from AMINEF Executive Director Bapak Alan Feinstein and Emily Y. Norris, Cultural Attaché, US Embassy Jakarta.

Joining from the U.S., were LaRita Campbell, Senior Program Officer, Office of Global Educational Programs, Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs, U.S. Department of State, and Leeza Fernand, Program Director, CCI/Associate Director, International Education and Sponsored Programs who also gave remarks.

P.T. Freeport Indonesia, which funds eight CCI Participants from Papua and West Papua provinces, was represented by Scott Hanna, Director, Strategic Support Services.

The two-day event provided grantees with practical information, insights, and valuable tips from CCI and Global UGRAD alumni, U.S. Fulbright alumni to Indonesia, and representatives from AMINEF partners who run the programs in the U.S., such as NOVA and World Learning.

AMINEF is deeply grateful to all keynote speakers, facilitators, and moderators for their participation.

Congratulations, and best wishes to all CCI and Global UGRAD Participants!
