> Dear Mr. Celso Freire,
> Alfred University was recently approved by IIE as a destination for 
> students coming to study science and engineering in the United States 
> under the provision of the Brazilian government’s Science Without 
> Borders program.  Because our campus is smaller than many, you may not 
> be familiar with us.  So I wanted to introduce you to some of the 
> programs we offer.
> Alfred is a small comprehensive university that houses the State 
> University of New York’s College of Ceramics.  Our Inamori School of 
> Engineering (_http://engineering.alfred.edu/_) offers top ranked 
> programs in ceramic engineering and materials science and engineering, 
> in addition to excellent programs in glass engineering science, 
> biomedical engineering, mechanical engineering, and, our newest major, 
> renewable energy engineering.  Our undergraduate and graduate students 
> have the opportunity to learn and do research with prominent 
> professors in the field in state-of-the-art facilities 
> (_http://engineering.alfred.edu/facilities/index.cfm_). I notice that 
> your university offers studies in nanotechnology and biomaterials, so 
> I wanted to bring our programs and facilities to your attention.
> Because we are a small university, we are able to offer undergraduate 
> students a level of attention and opportunity that they often cannot 
> get at larger institutions.   Students at Alfred commonly participate 
> in undergraduate research and present their work at undergraduate 
> research forums. Class sizes are typically small, so students are able 
> to ask questions and participate in hands-on learning.  I believe this 
> makes us an excellent fit for a student coming from abroad.
> In addition to our academics, both the campus and the small town of 
> Alfred provide a warm and welcoming community to students and daily 
> life is easy, leaving students free to concentrate on their studies.  
> Students are housed on campus and full meal plans are available, 
> together with a full range of on-campus services.  Clubs and 
> activities, together with the small size of the campus and the 
> surrounding community, facilitate a speedy integration into campus 
> life and US culture and language.
> We have been happy to welcome our first Science Without Borders 
> student on to our campus this semester.  He seems to be thriving here 
> so far, both academically and socially.  He volunteered to captain the 
> international club’s soccer team and he quickly made many local and 
> international friends among his fellow students and the wider 
> community.   We look forward to benefitting from the presence of more 
> Brazilian students in future, so if any of your students are hoping to 
> spend a year abroad through the Science Without Borders program,  I 
> hope you will let them know about Alfred University.
> If I can provide you with any more information, please let me know.
> Best regards,
