USP Open Day highlights university growth and expansion in Samoa

The University of the South Pacific will open its doors on August 19 to college students as well as interested post graduates to see courses are offered by the institute.

 “The University of the South Pacific is also Samoa’s university. I wouldn’t say its second, but its another university because Samoa has a share in it along with 11 other Pacific islands,” said Campus Director, Ruby Va’a.

The open day will also be a celebration of the mixed cultures within the university and that is something the board of directors as well as the organizers of the event are proud to display.

“We’re all hoping that this is something new this year and next week we will take our open day at USP to Savai’i center,” added Va’a.

Va’a emphasized the diverse culture in USP as a plus, especially exposing not just Samoan students to Samoan culture, but to engage them in activities that showcase what makes the pacific unique through their cultures.

The Savai’i Center Expo will be held next week Friday, August 5  and the official open day for USP Alafua Campus will be on the 19th where a Pacific Pageant will take place during the activities.
