Dear Madame and Sir atUSBT,

Hope my concratulations is not too late for the 26th anniversary of USBT.

I am one of 1993 USBTers from Chengdu, Sichuan,PR. China.

I always greatly appreciate what I have learnt and benefited from the USBT programs in 1993. I have to say it really change my career life.

Compared with what China looked like as in 26 years ago, the changes are really world-shaking. As we all know that how important impact of education is on the whole progress and the history of new China, especially the international education exchanges have changed the thought, phylosophy, study and life of millions of Chinese. And through the millions of individuals, China has been reshaped a lot even though it is still far away to the ideal goals. But where there is an education, there
is a hope, right?

I am proud of one of the USBTers.

Sincerely hope this short note can find you all fine and everything is going on smoothly!

If it is convenient, please say hello for me to Ms. Robin Bradley, Ms.Theresa Schweser and Ms.Jenifer Chambers.

Many thanks and all the best wishes to you all!

Respectfully yours,

Hongping

Thank you for inviting me to the celebration of 25 years of the USBT.
Unfortunately, your original invitation did not reach me for some
reason.I apologize for my late response.

I will not be able to attend NAFSA this year due to special events on
campus, unfortunately. Therefore, I will miss a celebration I would
truly like to attend, yours.

The very first year of the USBT was a major collaboration of the US
Information Agency, the College Board and NAFSA. As temporary
appointees to USIA, Patricia Biddinger and I worked with a team to
design and fund the program and the participation of 50 educational
advisors. I managed the program for USIA. The head of the office
(E/AS), Joe Bruns, and his deputy, Addie O'connell, were strong
supporters of the increasing the professional roles of the advisors.
The success of that first USBT convinced all the stakeholders to make
further investments and develop new structures to support the work
done around the world on behalf of US higher education.

I congratulate the advisors and celebrate the success of your many
contributions over the past 25 years (and more)!
