Student's success at Embassy Seattle-Tacoma

Here at Embassy, we are always proud of our students who go on to further academic success and Turkish Pre-Masters student Gurkan Gurler is no exception.

Margo Butcher, Student Services representative for Seattle-Tacoma writes: ‘As a Diploma Pre-Masters student at our centre between September 2009 and March 2010, Gurkan made a positive impression on his classmates and teachers with his well-rounded approach to studying in America. While he was here he participated in many school activities, worked diligently in the classroom and engaged many in volunteer activities in the local community.

Gurkan came to the US with the goal of studying at an American University for his Masters degree in Material Science. So during his course, Gurkan also studied to improve his TOEFL score and worked on his application to Alfred University, an American Study Group partner school.

Fortunately, all of Gurkan’s hard work paid off when he received his acceptance letter to Alfred University the week after graduation! We are happy he is choosing to stay in the Study Group family, and wish him the best of luck in his career and educational goals.'

Students in Seattle-Tacoma have been really busy recently! In their spare time, Embassy students have visited the Washington State Capitol building, watched a Seattle Sounders soccer game, had a go at snowshoeing on Mount Rainier and taken part in the 'Amazing Race'.

Visit the Seattle-Tacoma Facebook gallery to see the photos from all these fun trips and more, or take a look at the exciting activities and excursions planned for the future.

Activities and student trips

Seattle-Tacoma students headed to the trendy Queen Anne neighbourhood for an "Amazing Race" competition. Working in groups of three, students were given a list of tasks to perform and questions to answer in a period of two hours. They had a great time learning and exploring Seattle alongside their classmates.

 

Embassy Seattle Spring Diploma Graduation

Recently the Embassy Seattle-Tacoma held a graduation ceremony for Diploma students. This was followed by a student talent show. It all happened in the chapel of a church near Pacific Lutheran University. We had eleven diploma graduates - four DIP Advanced students and seven DIP High-Intermediate students. Four of the students were DIP years. After the graduates had all given their speeches we had a student talent show in which some of our students showed us what they could do.
