A Few Words From Our University Counsellor
“Hosting the IACAC China Fair Tour as an IACAC member school has been a truly meaningful experience and a significant milestone for our school community. Throughout my 19 years as a university counselor, my passion for this work has never wavered — and being able to bring together more than 130 universities to meet with our community students and parents here in Beijing has made this achievement especially rewarding.
A successful event of this scale would not have been possible without the unwavering support of our leadership team, teachers, staff and the enthusiastic participation of students and parents. It was the clear vision and strong leadership, combined with the dedication and cooperation of our student volunteers and the broader school community, that made this event so remarkable.
I have always believed that the effort you invest directly shapes the outcome. To our counseling team, the visiting schools, the students and parents who joined us, and the teachers and staff who have been involved since the planning stages eight months ago — thank you. This will undoubtedly stand out as a highlight and a precious life experience in our journey together. Let’s continue to work as one to create more inspiring moments like this and celebrate our shared journey at CISB. Together, we are always better.”
