A delegation from the U.S. Consulate General Karachi, in collaboration with the United States Educational Foundation in Pakistan (USEFP) and the EducationUSA advising network, conducted a special information session at Shah Abdul Latif University (SALU), Khairpur here on Today. The event aimed to guide undergraduate students interested in pursuing higher education and exchange programs in the United States.
The visiting team included Mr. Belal Rizvi, Emerging Voices Specialist from the U.S. Consulate; Mr. Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto, Program Officer from USEFP; and Ms. Aamna Chandna, an EducationUSA Adviser.
They hosted an interactive outreach session at the university’s Students Society Center, which was open to all students under an open invitation extended by the university administration.
The program detailed two primary pathways for U.S. study.

Second, the session delivered practical guidance for students considering independent applications, covering the entire process from standardized testing and university applications to financial planning.
Earlier, the delegation met with senior university officials, including Pro-Vice Chancellor Professor Dr. Wahid Bux Jatoi, several deans, and faculty members. Discussions during the meeting centered on areas of mutual interest and explored potential opportunities for academic collaboration between U.S. institutions and SALU.

This visit underscores a continued commitment to promoting academic exchange and supporting the educational aspirations of Pakistani students.
University officials have encouraged all students to engage directly with such opportunities to learn more about the procedures and possibilities for undergraduate study in the United States.
