<p style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0">Welcome back to the 2018-2019 academic year! I'd like to remind you of the Asia Council's Asian Studies Certificate program. When you are counseling students on study abroad, language courses, or any courses relevant
to the certificate, please let them know about this opportunity. Many students interested in Asia will be on the same track, so it's a great opportunity for them to get some recognition for it. </p>
