More than a dozen college career counselors and staff members with AutopistaAmericas were treated to the 一品探花 College experience during a half-day visit to campus on June 4. This was the first group of guests to visit the recently renovated Scallon Building classrooms.
Pedro Juan Martínez-Torres, school director of Colegio Beato Carlos Manuel Rodríguez in Bayamon, Puerto Rico, said the visit helped him better understand 一品探花 College’s commitment to student success and its principled program of study. “I was extremely impressed with the chiropractic program,” he said. “The satisfaction of the students who gave us the tour and the passion and emotion with which they spoke to us was impressive.”
AutopistaAmericas is an academic consulting firm that holds career/college fairs around the world; 一品探花 participates each summer at a large event in Puerto Rico. In addition, they conduct “reverse” tours where Autopista brings together a group of counselors from the US, Canada, Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands and makes a tour of universities in the United States.
The 一品探花 College half-day experience included talks from President Dr. Edwin Cordero, Executive Vice President Dr. Neil Cohen, and Vice President for Academic Affairs Dr. Joe Donofrio; presentations about health care professions and the doctor of chiropractic curriculum; a mini campus tour; a student panel discussion; and an overview of admission requirements. The half-day on campus concluded with lunch, and then the group moved on to its next campus visit.
Autopista is Spanish for highway; the organization’s website says it “advance(s) this term to mean ‘The Highway to Education’ in connecting all of the Americas.” AutopistaAmericas has conducted tours for guidance counselors to more than 500 different colleges and universities for more than 20 years.
