and social life in the United States.
The American Corners are freely accessible to students, non-governmental
organizations, the private sector, government officials and ordinary

counterparts in the United States.
The staff of the American Corners and the EAC put a priority on reaching
diverse populations and educating a wide variety of potential applicants
interested in academic programs in the U.S.
