“The AEO tours are the foundation of our international recruitment activity in Asia.  We’ve been doing them twice a year for almost 20 years and find that, by far, they consistently offer the largest turnout of quality students.  Our international enrollment has grown steadily because of the good work done by AEO.”
George Beers - Foothill & De Anza Colleges

“The AEO tour was by far the most productive recruiting trip I have ever undertaken. I was amazed at the extraordinarily large number of students attending each fair, and impressed by the quality of prospects I met. I fully expect to recoup the cost of our investment many, many, times over. Thanks, Bob, and please reserve a permanent place for us on every one of your future tours.”
Stanley Nel - University of San Francisco

“I have been participating in the AEO tour for 6 years.  I have found student attendance at AEO fairs to be significantly better than at any other fairs I’ve done.  The chance to recruit qualified students is great, and the tours are also a lot of fun.  I highly recommend the AEO tour to other schools who would like to expand their recruiting efforts in Asia.”
Julie Sinclair - Oklahoma City University

“I have been an AEO tour member for the past 7 years and have been completely satisfied each year.  The number of students at college fairs have always been large, and school visits have given me the opportunity to meet and talk with qualified students.  Many students I met with during AEO tours have matriculated to our university.  There is no doubt in my mind that I will continuously join this wonderful organization for years to come.”
Julie Loupee - Savannah College of Art and Design

“Never a dull moment.  If we weren’t visiting a school we were meeting the thousands of students at each fair.  The number and quality of students at the fairs were more than I expected.  The diversity of the cities on the tour - hence the diversity of the students - was incredible.”
Lin Larson - St. Mary’s College of California

“The AEO exhibitions are well advertised in each city and attract hundreds of qualified students and their families who are specifically interested in studying in the United States.  The contacts made over the years have been an important contributor to the strength of our international student program.”
Ellen Blauw - Marquette University

“I had a great time on the tour! Not only did I see a lot of potential students (more than I have in the past at the bigger fairs, like IIE), I also met some wonderful people in the tour group! I learned so much from the people with more recruiting experience than I. I only wish I had gone on this trip when I first started in international recruiting 4 years ago! “
Jolene Weber - Saginaw Valley State University

“CCSN is very pleased with the results of its participation on the AEO Tour.  The tour was both productive and positive and the opportunity to meet thousands of students in some of the most dynamic markets in international education was invaluable.  Our time was well spent throughout the tour and ensured a maximum return on our investment.  Furthermore, the professional counsel we received from the organizer throughout the trip was extremely helpful.  The knowledge gained during this tour will aid CCSN greatly in making wise international recruitment decisions in the future.  We are looking forward to future participation and to the increased business that comes as a result of repeat visits to the region.”
Scott Naus - Community College of Southern Nevada

“Thanks for coordinating another great tour. I really appreciate all the hard work you do in coordinating the travel, advertising, hotels, etc. I have had an excellent response thus far.”
Julie Williams - Indiana University South Bend

"AEO has been the cornerstone of our recruitment activities in Asia for many years. In spite of what appear to be insurmountable barriers to enrollment since 9/11, Shoreline's international student population
continues to grow. The exceptional exhibitions and flexibility of the AEO tour, allows us to maximize our effectiveness with our partners in Asia. AEO is an important reason why we have seen record enrollments during the past year.”
Matt DeGooyer - Shoreline Community College

“I have used the AEO tour as a recruitment tool for my international marketing activities in Asia since I worked as Director of International Programs at SUNY Plattsburgh. My recruitment of international students was catapulted by more than 1100% from 37 to more than 450 in about 3 years and made headline news. This was the largest international class in more than 20 years of SUNY Plattsburgh's history. Joining the AEO tour helped us in achieving that unprecedented success. Mr. Bob Allan has done an outstanding job in the Asia student market. Now I serve as Associate Vice President of Grambling State University of Louisiana and I will be joining Mr. Bob Allan tours regularly because he is second to none!!”
Mahmoud Lamadanie - Grambling State University

“Southwestern Academy has been recruiting students from Asia with the AEO tour for the past 20 years. The fairs are phenomenally well attended and while high school students are a relatively small
proportion of the attendees we continue to enroll high quality students as a result of our participation on the tour. I have traveled with other groups but remain with AEO as no other tour seems to be able to advertise the fairs as effectively as AEO does.”
Lynn Yekiazarian - Southwestern Academy

“It was a pleasure traveling with you on the AEO tour the past few weeks.  The tour was very efficient and well organized and we have already begun receiving online applications from students we met at the fairs!  Thank you for your assistance in  making our participation in your tour possible.  We look forward to working with you again in the future!”
Karla Schneider & Vicki Seefeldt West, Ohio University

“It was a great experience!  I had to move to Texas to get to join your tour but it was worth it.   I  have done _ _ _ _ _ _, _ _ _ _, _ _ _ and _ _ _ fairs and a few others and none of them even came CLOSE to the level of professionalism, student numbers and student interest of your fairs.  I was equally impressed with the professionalism and camaraderie of the other representatives too and look forward to seeming many of them again.  I collected nine applications, mostly for graduate programs, and about 160 inquiry cards, which I consider a great start considering SFA has never recruited in Southeast Asia before.  Thanks for running such a great tour!”
Daniel Norton - Stephen F. Austin State University

"I always return from an AEO Tour feeling that my school's time and money have been well spent. We see wonderful students at numerous school visits and widely publicized exhibitions. My school's international enrollment and visibility have benefited from your extensive knowledge of the region, comprehensive itinerary, and extensive advertising.”
Susan McGill - Hiram College

“Our university did very well and as usual we are more than pleased with the results.  I was able to bring back 60 applications between both graduate and undergraduate students.  Student turnout at exhibitions was outstanding!”
Sarah Wade - Kutztown University of Pennsylvania
