INTERNATIONAL AMERICAN UNIVERSITY

We love our ALUMNI!

We love when our IAU Alumni come to visit from overseas! Since a majority our students are distance learning students, it is very exciting to have them see our main campus in person. Mr. Rammohan Sundaram, MBA graduate went off to pursue his love of business by founding Network Play, one of India’s fastest growing media company with assets through alliances across various touch points including Web, Mobile, Direct-to-Home TV, Events and Publishing. Having started it’s operations in October 2008, NetworkPlay has been a pioneer in turning around the dynamics of the business in the marketplace.

We had a lovely time showing him around Los Angeles, take a look!

Here at IAU, we get very excited when our oversea partners and students come to visit our main campus in Los Angeles! Not only because we enjoy touring them around this beautiful city , but more so for the reason of getting to know our IAU Family a little better (:

Last month, Dr. Lai of South China University of Technology (SCUT), one of the Approved Support Centers IAU is closely partnered with, came to visit IAU along with his colleague, Ms. Cane Chan. We took them to see the LACMA Museum, Santa Monica Pier & Promenade, The Grove, Rodeo Drive, and to local restaurants for the ultimate Los Angeles Experience!

Holiday Social

IAU threw some holiday treats together for a Holiday Social on the last day of Fall Session 2. Although we were busy on this day, everyone still seemed to have a great time and enjoyed our festive treats!

Greetings from IAU, OC Campus!

iauedu — Tue, 20 Dec 2011 02:53:56 +0000

An email was sent to us a few days ago from OC Campus’ ESL teacher, Ms. Kat Avila! It reads:

Happy holidays, everyone!

Hyeyoung and guest Anizia Souto forwarded photos of our end-of-the-year luncheon at Myung Dong Kal Guksu restaurant.

We were very fortunate to have independent businesswoman and Portuguese-language teacher Anizia come down to speak to our ESL class about Christmas in Brazil. She also shared with us some tips on language learning.

Also, we were able to meet the new finance instructor Michael Kinnen. He’ll be teaching online.

It was a fun meet-and-greet, and the food was very delicious, too.

Warm regards,

Kat
