Dear Saudi Cultural Ambassadors,

The director of International Admissions, Chris Anderson is visiting Riyadh from April 16 to April 19 for the International Exhibition & Conference on Higher Education (IECHE). He would like to meet Cultural Ambassadors during this large college fair. The event is going to take place at the Riyadh International Convention & Exhibition Centre (RICEC- King Abdullah Road, Next to Prince Salman Social Center in Riyadh).

It will be very beneficial if you can assist Chris during this event or at least stop by and say "hi" to him.

If you are currently in the US or not in Riyadh, please let your prospective relatives and friends know that they are welcome to visit Portland State's booth at the college fair. Chris will be happy to help them.

If you are interested in visiting Chris in Riyadh, or if you have any questions, please feel free to contact me.

Sincerely,

Osman

Hello Everyone,

If you know any PSU alumni currently in India, please let me know; so I can pass along the information.

Greetings Cultural Ambassadors,

As the new coordinator of the program, I am excited to meet you all. Due to summer, some of you are not in Portland. Therefore, before the Fall term I would like to organize an informal gathering on Friday, 13th of July. I would like to introduce myself and get to know you. I am also planning to conduct a short survey, which is going to help me develop the program. Here is the information of the Cultural Ambassador informal gathering:
Chit-Chat Café
1907 SW 6th Ave. Portland, OR 97201
4pm to 6:30pm, July 13, Friday

If you will not be able to come for some reason, please let me know so I can send you the survey that I am planning to conduct.

I am looking forward to meeting you all.
