Executive Summary:

This Annual Progress Report covers the period of 10/1/2015 – 9/30/2016 as required in Attachment A/Section A.5/2.C.

of Cooperative Agreement 263-A-00-10-00026-00 and consists of this summary document and the annexed M&E

Matrix, as well as the four previously-submitted, detailed quarterly reports.

This report documents the activities of Year 5 of the LOTUS Scholarship Program. Key sections highlight the major

activities under each objective in the M&E Matrix including accomplishments, implementation issues, and actions taken.

On May 4, 2010, the Institution of International Education (IIE) was awarded the LOTUS Scholarship Program by USAID

and was tasked with implementing a program that would impact the lives of 100 young, bright, talented Egyptian youth

who exhibit academic excellence and have distinctive attributes and potentials but whose families do not have the

financial means to afford the quality education that a private university can offer. In August 2011, USAID awarded IIE

funding to offer scholarships to an additional 50 students.

On September 4, 2013, IIE/Egypt was awarded funding for 50 additional scholarships for

Cohort 3. IIE immediately mobilized, recruited, and selected 50 students to join Cohort 3. The

50 students participated in a Bridge Year Program at the British University in Egypt where

they gained to gain a suite of essential skills including English language, computer, research,

and study skills. In September 2014, they began academic programs at the British University

in Egypt (BUE) and the Arab Academy for Science, Technology, and Maritime Transport

(AASTMT).

On June 19, 2014, IIE/Egypt was awarded funding for a fourth Cohort of 50 students.

Mobilization, outreach and recruitment and screening took place during quarter 4. The 50

students started a Bridge Year Program at the British University in Egypt to gain a suite of essential skills including

English language, computer, research, and study skills in December 2014. In September 2015, they began academic

programs at the British University in Egypt (BUE) and the Arab Academy for Science, Technology, and Maritime

Transport (AASTMT).

IIE works in collaboration with six Egyptian private universities that are committed to

providing quality education for the students who are enrolled in the Program: the British

University in Egypt (BUE), October University for Modern Sciences and Art University (MSA),

Future University in Egypt (FUE), Al-Ahram Canadian University (ACU), Pharos University in

Alexandria (PUA) and Arab Academy for Sciences, Technology & Maritime Transport

(AASTMT). LOTUS Scholarship Program supports USAID/Egypt’s new Development Objective

(DO) 22 – Educated Workforce that Responds to Labor Market Needs. The activity

contributes to IR.1 Tertiary and Workforce Development Programs able to produce graduates

with relevant skills and also Sub IR 1.1 – Increased Access to Quality Tertiary Education. An extension to the LOTUS

Program conforms to USAID Education Strategy Goal #2, which states “The 21st century knowledge-driven global

economy underscores the need for higher levels of education and cognitive skills beyond a primary education. A

daunting challenge facing developing countries in meeting competitiveness demands is how to improve equity and

expand access to tertiary and workforce development programs.”

IIE is committed to achieving these goals by offering scholarship recipients solid academic programs, leadership

enrichment activities, career development opportunities, and community-based service learning opportunities. LOTUS

Scholarship students are supported by the members of the IIE LOTUS team throughout the

period of their scholarships to enable their academic success and to ensure that they gain

the necessary leadership skills and practical experience that will prepare them for life and

careers after graduation.

Since the inception of the LOTUS Scholarship Program in 2010:

- 250 students have been successfully recruited, selected, and awarded scholarships

from among over 3,300 applicants.

- 103 Cohort 1, 3 and 4 students continue to be enrolled in undergraduate programs

as of the end of this reporting period as follows:

o Cohort 1: 4 students

o Cohort 3: 50 students

o Cohort 2 Graduates: 46 students (25 females – 21 males)

o Cohort 1 Residents: 3 students (1 female – 2 males)

o Cohort 2 Residents: 7 students (1 female – 6 males)

- 3 students left the Program for personal reasons after three semesters.

- 5 students had their scholarships terminated for weak academic performance over the course of the four

semesters that they were in the Program.

- One student had his scholarship terminated for behavioral issues this academic year.

The LOTUS Scholarship Program has a set of objectives under which all of its activities are organized. The nine objectives

are separate yet inter-related and together contribute to the Program goals. During FY2016, IIE worked diligently on

achieving the objectives. IIE collaborated with partner universities and NGOs to achieve objectives of providing students

Female Representation in LOTUS Scholarship Program

The LOTUS students represent all of Egypt’s 27 governorates and two former governorates and gender balance was

quite observed. A total of 135 female students were enrolled in five of the six partner universities to provide them with

access to higher quality education and empower them to assume leadership roles in their communities. It is important

to note that IIE did not place female students at PUA because of an absence of culturally-acceptable housing options for

females.

graduated to date is 138 students as follows: 92 Cohort 1

students (50 females and 42 males) and 46 Cohort 2

Updates on Graduate Employability Status

This section of the report provides updates on the employment status of

LOTUS graduates. IIE maintains the connection with its graduates through

regular email, social media and surveys where the students provide

information on their current jobs and the job interviews they have

undertaken. IIE has created a Facebook group for the LOTUS graduates

and posts job and training opportunities. IIE also provided graduates with

certificates of completion of the scholarship that they can include as proof

of excellence and experience when applying for jobs that require related

skills.

As per the M&E matrix and indicator 6.g. % of graduates reporting themselves as employed - Cohort 1 and Indicator

6.1.f % of graduates reporting themselves as employed - Cohort 2, the target is calculated based on the information

extracted from a survey to document employment status and phone calls with the graduates who returned back to their

home governorate where internet connection is hard to maintain.

Targets assume that 10% of graduates will be employed within one year of their graduation and an additional 25% will

be employed within two years of graduation. These estimates take into consideration that the majority of male

graduates have compulsory military service after graduation and some chose to pursue graduate studies which will

delay their employment. However, these estimates did not take into consideration that some female students will get

married after graduation and perhaps stay home and start families. To-date, three female graduates are in this category.

Employment status to-date is that 75 out of the 138 LOTUS graduates are employed, 46 of whom are females and 29 are

males. Nineteen male graduates are currently serving their mandatory military service or waiting for their military unit

location confirmation.

The biggest limitation continues to be collecting the graduates’ data after most of them have returned to their home

governorates and engaged either in pursuing their career paths, military service or family commitments. IIE exerts every

effort to encourage alumni to be more responsive and provides guidance whenever the need arises.

The following table illustrates the progress in employment targets and achievements as per the M&E matrix.

- Nine in the 2.00-2.49 range.

IIE continued to support the students academically in collaboration with the academic coordinators at the two partner

universities.

English Language Proficiency

90% of LOTUS graduates being proficient in the English language as

determined by achieving scores of 550 or above on the ITP TOEFL exam

is an objective that IIE recognized would be challenging after the first

group of students entered the Program in 2010. It is important to note

that IIE has included a Bridge Year Program for Cohort 3 and 4 students

before they begin their degree programs in order to address this

challenge. English language proficiency continues to be a major

challenge in LOTUS which resulted in not meeting the target of 90% of

Cohort 1 and 2 graduates scoring 550 or above. In FY2016, only 17%

from Cohort 1 (3 out of 17 students targeted) and 19% (3 out of 19 students targeted) from Cohort

2 scored 550 or above. Given that students graduating from public schools tend to have weak English proficiency and

English is not a criterion for selection in the LOTUS Program, this is to be expected. Another contributing factor is field

of specialization and utilization of English language. STEM fields for example do not require students to do a lot of

writing, which is key to improving proficiency. Science and technology students comprise a majority of Cohort 1 and 2

students and many are more proficient in technical terminology than general English. Each university has different

requirements for English language courses ranging from two to five courses of varying levels and quality. BUE and MSA

English language course requirements are higher than those of ACU, PUA, and FUE.

During FY2016, Cohort 3 and 4 students were enrolled in the following English language opportunities:

Cohort 4 BUE Intensive Summer English Program

During the period from July 17 to August 4, 2016, 33 students (20 females – 13 males) from Cohort 4 attended the BUE

Intensive Summer English Program. The purpose of the program was to improve the English language skills of select

students to further improve their future IBT scores for Study Abroad. Attendance was near perfect during the three-

week program and feedback from the students was positive. Selection was based on students’ most recent ITP scores,

aimed at students who scored 450 or below on their last exam.

Cohort 4 IBT Test Preparation Course:

Shortly after the BUE Summer English course, all Cohort 4 students who applied for Study Abroad took part in an 8-day

IBT preparation course provided by AMIDEAST as detailed in the Study in the U.S. section below

ITP Tests for Graduating Students Academic Year 2015/2016

During FY2016, all fall 2015 spring and summer 2016 graduating students sat for the ITP test. The results are as follows:

- Total number of students scoring in the range 450-549 on ITP tests are 48 students:

o 28 Cohort 1 – (16 females – 12 males)

o 20 Cohort 2 – (10 females – 10 males)

- Total number of students scoring ≥ 550 on ITP test are 6 students2

o 3 Cohort 1 (2 females – 1 male)

o 3 Cohort 2 (2 females – 1 male)

Comparative analysis for Cohort 1&2 English Language Proficiency Level Fall 2015, Spring

and Summer 2016 graduates

The following chart and graph illustrate the scores of the (ITP) exams conducted for Cohort 1&2 fall 2015 spring and

summer 2016 graduates to gauge the progress of the English language proficiency level in this group of students since

they joined the program. This analysis takes fall 2011 scores as the baseline for assessing and comparing the progress

that took place between that year and the students’ graduation semesters.

2 The total number of Students in Cohort 1 and 2 who scored 550 or above is 15, nine of which have scored ≥ 550 before and so are

not included in the count towards the target for this year.

The following graph provides a summary of Improvement between fall 2011 and spring and summer 2016 Exams by Cohort:

As the graph illustrates, a large percentage of the students experienced improvement in their English language

proficiency between fall 2011 and spring 2016. IIE is particularly impressed with the 51 students out of the 65 graduates

who improved their scores by at least 40 points. The increase in scores for Cohort 1 and 2 could be in part a result of

the students’ participation in the Summer English Program, supplemental English Program (cohort 2) and study abroad

opportunities that 29 students out of this group received.

Study in the U.S. Opportunities

The purpose of the LOTUS study abroad component is to provide LOTUS

students with an opportunity to live and study in the United States for one

semester. A major component of LOTUS Scholarship Program’s mission is

to develop international leaders who are able to think, work, and solve

problems on a global, intercultural basis. During the semester abroad,

LOTUS students are introduced to and gain an understanding of American

people, culture and traditions, society, values, and ways of life. The

international exchange opportunity shapes the development of the young LOTUS leaders so that they are tolerant, able

to embrace diversity, open to new experiences, and aware of the world outside of their borders.

During FY2016, six Cohort 3 students were placed for the summer 2016 term in the U.S and two Cohort 3 students for

the fall 2016 term. Placements were challenging due to low IBT scores, internships requirements, and start dates at U.S.

universities that are before the end of final exams at Egyptian partner universities. Also challenging was finding courses

to match home university requirements for the two fall 2016 students. The IIE Academic and Experiential Learning

Division in NY (IIE/AEL) has worked diligently to place the students and has expanded the number of host universities at

which students received acceptances.

Saint Martin’s University is a new addition to the list of U.S. host universities for LOTUS, while this was the second time

that LOTUS students were placed at West Virginia University and the University of California, Davis. The students

appeared to have acclimated to the environments of their campuses, enjoyed the cultural exchange and study

experience, and were able to fulfill the study abroad program academic requirements including internships.

During their time in the U.S., the three students placed at Saint Martin’s gave a presentation entitled “Egyptian

Students’ Perspectives on U.S Business Culture” based on what they had observed during their internships. They shared

with the LOTUS team a recording of the presentation during which they were excellent representatives not only of the

LOTUS program, but also of their country by showing confidence and demonstrating exceptional communication and

presentation skills.

All six students returned to Egypt during FY2016, Quarter 4 and a re-entry session will be conducted next month. We

will provide feedback on their experiences in the FY2017 Q1 report.

Fall 2016 Study Abroad – Cohort 3:

During this reporting period, IIE conducted a visa orientation session for two students scheduled to spend the fall

semester in the U.S. after which they went to the U.S. embassy for their visa interviews. IIE also held a PDO to orient

them on American cultural diversity, adjustment, and initial culture shock. The two students traveled to the U.S. on

August 24 and are currently studying at Saint Martin’s University and being monitored by IIE/AEL division.

Spring and summer 2017 Study Abroad - Cohort 3:

IIE has worked diligently to provide Cohort 3 students with the tools and resources that they need to improve their

English language proficiency and obtain the requisite score of 68 or above on the IBT exam including a group IBT test

preparation course, IBT test preparation materials, and an online IBT test preparation course for the students who

scored between 60 and 67 on the test. IIE followed up with the students and allowed them to take the IBT exam a

second and in some cases, a third time. A total of 18 students completed the IBT online preparation course and 12 took

the exam again in FY2016, Q4. Students will continue to take the exam in the next quarter of FY2017 in order to qualify

for study abroad.

The following students have obtained the requisite IBT score and been selected for spring or summer 2017

opportunities. The IIE/AEL division has begun working with the students on their common applications and the

placement process.

Cohort 4-Study Abroad Selection Cycle:

IIE contracted AMIDEAST to implement an IBT preparation course for Cohort 4 students who applied for the study

abroad opportunity. Forty-four students (28 female and 16 male) received 48 instructional hours on test-taking

strategies and skills during the period of August 28 – September 8. Students took two sample IBT exams, one before and

one after the course and many improved their scores significantly as shown in the table below. AMIDEAST also provided

them with the 80-hour online test preparation course to do on their own time in the fall. During this reporting period,

10 Cohort 4 students took the exam and the remaining 35 will take it in October. Similar to the Cohort 3 students, we

anticipate that many will need to take the exam more than once to obtain the requisite score. We will provide updates

in future reports.

Study Abroad Survey for Cohort 3:

In an effort to capture how well the students received the study abroad experience, IIE surveyed the six cohort 3

students who spent the summer 2016 semester in the U.S. before their travel and upon their return. The survey

included self-assessment questions to give the student a chance to assess her/his knowledge, skills and character

development before and after study abroad experience. Overall, the results of the survey were positive highlighting a

significant change in the following areas:

- Increased intercultural competence

- Increased knowledge of the host culture

- Increased ability to deal in the language of the host country

- Enhanced research, academic and presentation skills

- Less anxiety in interacting with people from different cultures

- Increased friendships and connections with people from other cultures

- Greater intercultural networks

However, the students experienced a certain level of complexity when comparing both cultures. Some of them viewed

the differences and similarities from the perspective of their own culture. One student who spent a few weeks of her

internship in a home stay through an arrangement with the university reported that she was shocked when she learned

that several years ago her host family kicked their disabled son out of the house. At the beginning, she tried to relate

the same situation with what wouldhappen in a similar situation in Egypt and found it unacceptable and shocking. She

didn’t want to express her disaapointment with the whole situation to her host family but rather she decided to wait

and try to learn a new perspective in family interaction patterns in the U.S. She then got to know that the boy was

arrested for committing a crime and that the parents had acted this way to teach him to be more responsible. Though,

she found the situation hard to accept but she eventually respected the parents for their action towards their son. She

also came to discover that this situation may happen but with different communication styles and cultural values at

home.

Page 25: Annual Progress Report FY2016 - United States …pdf.usaid.gov/pdf_docs/PA00MG99.pdfAnnual Progress Report FY2016 October 1, 2015 – September 30, 2016 2 Table of Contents Executive

There were several ways in which the students expressed their character development in the survey as a result of the

study abroad experience. Several indicated that they had more self-confidence in their abilities to handle new situations

independently. Others were more accepting of opinions that differ from their own.

Unlike the other groups of students who travelled before, this group did not feel lost in cultural adaptation while living

in the host culture, but rather they watched and learned with the image of their home country at the back of their

minds.

“Since day one, I told myself I have to watch and absorb without melting in the host culture and lose my identity. I told

myself that I will go back home one day and that helped me a lot in my transation back to my home country” said one of

the female studnts.

In addition, the students reported improvement in different aspects including their English language skills,

independence, sense of responsibility, accepting diversity and gaining knowledge about other cultre.

At first, they were thinking that this semester abroad would only have academic yields but they came to realize that the

moral and personal gains are what makes this experience a very remarkable one.

"In life, we're used to relate success to achievement. But, there is something harder than achievement which is

"surviving". You're successful when you survive your problems and your failures. In the U.S., my host family taught me

that life is like your heart beats. There are UPs and DOWNs. Sometimes in life, your fight would be to make a step

forward but sometimes your fight would be just to stand tall and don't fall”.

The survey also asked the students to indicate their level of agreement with some statements that relate to their future

employability; their answers came as follows:

- Before they travel they give 50% to somewhat agreed and 50% to strongly agree that “Studying abroad will support

developing the skills and intercultural competencies that contribute to obtaining my first job after graduation” . After they

returned, the percentaged changed to 30% to somewhat agreed and 67% to strongly agree.

- Before they travel they gave 10% to somewhat agreed and 90% to strongly agree that “Studying abroad will enhance

my ability to speak in a foreign language in the workplace”. After they returned, the percentaged changed to 17% to

somewhat agreed and 83% to strongly agree.

- Before they travel they gave 10% to somewhat agreed, 30% somewhat disagree and to 60% strongly agree that

“Employers look for this type of qualifications (U.S. university education)”. After they returned, the percentaged changed to

50% to somewhat agreed and 50% to strongly agree.

- Before they travel they gave 40% to somewhat agreed and to 60% strongly agree that “Study abroad opportunity will

enhance my chances in the job market in my field”. After they returned, the percentaged changed to 33% to somewhat

agreed and to 67% strongly agree.

- Before they travel they gave 40% to somewhat agreed and to 60% strongly agree that “Study abroad opportunity is one

of the keys to a successful job search”. After they returned, the percentaged changed to 50% to somewhat agreed and 50%

to strongly agree.

- Before they travel they gave 30% to somewhat agreed and 70% to strongly agree that “Study abroad will allow me to

better adapt better to diverse work environments”. After they returned, the percentaged changed to 100% strongly agree.

- Before they travel they gave 70% to somewhat agreed, 30% to somewhat disagree and 17% to strongly agree that

“Studying abroad will better allow me to choose my career field”. After they returned, the percentaged changed to 17% to

somewhat agreed and to 67% strongly agree.

Below are some quotes in response to some of the questions included in the Post Assessment Survey:

1) When discussing what strategies they employed to assist in maximizing the learning benefits from the Study Abroad

experience:

“Being open-minded enough to accept differences in cultures between Americans and non-Americans.” – Beshoy Atef,

Beni Sueif, Political Sciences, BUE.

“In Egypt, we’re used to keeping our problems hidden from others as a kind of privacy, but in the U.S, it was totally

different. I had no problem in telling others about my problems. If I share my problem with you, two things might

happen. First, you might have a similar problem and we’ll be supportive of each other. Second, you might not have had

this problem, but I’ll be a positive example to you in the future if you face something similar.” – Christine Sobhy, Minya,

Business Administration, BUE.

2) Reflections regarding American behavior:

“I found (Americans) as I expected. Everything is organized. They do their best during weekdays to achieve their life

goals, succeed in work or study, etc. and on the other hand they do their best during the weekends to achieve

entertainment goals.” – Beshoy Atef

“American culture teaches you that life is full of potentials. They told me that I have so much to offer this world!” –

Christine Sobhy

“They respect the law so much.” – Islam Ashraf, Fayoum, IT and Computer Sciences, BUE.

3) Did you gain any valuable experiences during your time in the U.S.? If so, what were they?

“Learning how to be a global citizen. Being cheerful. Respecting differences. Being faithful in what I am doing whether

studying or hanging out.” – Beshoy Atef

“(Americans) taught me that “if you need help, you just ask!”. In the U.S, the government and even individuals have a

social responsibility towards their community problems.” – Christine Sobhy

4) What benefits did you see in studying abroad?

“It developed my mindset through learning in a new, health environment. It gave me a chance to see how other people

live and evolve. It created a new global citizen that can help his country and the world.” – Beshoy Atef

“Recognizing new cultures and people. Making friends. Improving English. Independence.” – Islam Ashraf

Study Abroad and Cohort 1 and 2 Graduate Employability

In a 2014 study by Erasmus University entitled “Effects of mobility on the skills and employability of students and the

internationalisation of higher education institutions”, they made a link between study abroad and employability finding

that internationally-mobile students are half as likely to experience long-term unemployment compared with those who

have not studied or trained abroad. They ound that five years after graduation, the unemployment rate for students

who spent time abroad is 23% lower. The survey results indicate that 92% of employers are looking for personality traits

found to be enhanced by study or training abroad, such

as tolerance, confidence, problem-solving skills,

curiosity, knowing one’s strengths/weaknesses, and

decisiveness.

The findings of the Erasmus impact study are extremely

significant vis-à-vis what we are seeing in the high

employability rate among LOTUS graduates who

received the opportunity to study abroad and do

internships at U.S. host universities or at related entities.

Thirty- nine of the 65 graduates who went on a semester

abroad are employed (60%). Twenty-two Alumni (34%)

are unemployed either because of their army service,

residency year or marriage and maternity for females.

The other remaining 4 students (6%) are as follows;

- Three active students whose graduation is

delayed due to studying for a semester abroad.

- One left the program after receiving an opportunity to study in one of the U.S. Universities

LIA/IIE-Led Enrichment Activities

During FY2016, IIE engaged LOTUS students in the Leadership in Action Program through a

series of leadership sessions, specialized sessions, and Nahdet El Mahrousa (NM) career

sessions, which provided them experiential experience that entailed significant interaction with

community leaders through special sessions, trips, and field visits to hands-on projects that

serve the community. Eleven Leadership in Action sessions were conducted at partner

universities.

IIE held a total of 29 specialized sessions and meetings that were attended by the subsets of

organizing committees to provide the students working on the organization of the Third Annual

workshop with the necessary tools and mentoring that will assist them during the process of

implementation. The combined participation in the 29 specialized sessions was 364 students (162

females – 202 males with students attended multiple sessions). IIE staff provided students with mentoring, guidance,

and the tools that they will need to design and implement activities.

Cohort 1 and 2 Team Building and Career Retreat

A retreat day was organized and hosted by IIE on February 26, 2016 at which NM focused on conducting career-related

activities. NM designed a very intensive agenda for the retreat of different parallel activities which included career

counseling, Tamheed self-assessment, group mentoring sessions and one-to-one (individual) mentoring sessions.

Cohort 3 Team Building Retreat

IIE implemented a team building retreat for Cohort 3 students December 10-11, 2015 at the Cataract Pyramids Hotel.

The retreat focus was on the concepts of self-leadership and nonviolent communication. Students took part in

experiential team building activities where they put to use what they learned in the discussions and debrief sessions.

The weekend served as a valuable opportunity for students to strengthen their leadership and team building skills, for

them to nurture their existing friendships and form new ones, and for IIE to strengthen communication and the bond

with the students.

Cohort 3 IIE-led Leadership Camp

The first IIE-led Leadership Camp was held for the Cohort 3 students from August 29 to September 7. While the overall

goal of the camp was to further enhance students’ leadership skills, it specifically focused on the following themes:

Self-Discovery: In order to be a leader, individuals need to know themselves and understand what drives them. Sessions included how to be more self-aware and mindful.

Communication: Sessions and activities included presentation skills, conflict resolution, and professional communication.

Project Planning: Sessions included people management and project management.

Objective 2:

At least 90% of

LOTUS graduates

are empowered

to assume future

leadership roles

and civic

responsibilities

29

The camp’s format consisted of sessions, activities, a guest lecture, and field trips. The sessions and activities were

delivered by IIE and by external consultants. Ms. Nermeen Amr, Regional and Learning Development Manager at Mars,

shared with students her experience and lessons learned in the leadership field.

The first field trip was to the Pyramids, Sphinx, and Sakkara where students reflected on the Pharaohs’ leadership

qualities and the reasons why the ancient Egyptian civilization was so great.

The second field trip was to Sekem’s headquarters in Belbeis where students toured the premises and learned about the

unique work culture which undoubtedly contribute to the company’s success.

The final field trip was to Fagnoon Art School where the students had an intimate and informal conversation with Mr.

Mohamed Allam, Fagnoon’s founder. Mr. Allam shared with the students his vision behind Fagnoon and the importance

of encouraging creativity in education.

Throughout the camp, IIE helped students tie together the new information and skills they learned with what they

previously gained through the Leadership in Action Program and helped them identify ways to apply it all to their lives.

The camp also provided the annual workshop organizers with the opportunity to have daily face-to-face meetings to

continue with the Workshop planning.

Annual LOTUS Student-led Leadership Workshops

The Fourth Annual LOTUS Student-led Leadership Workshop

The Fourth Annual LOTUS Student-led Workshop took place at the Arab Academy for Science, Technology and Maritime

Transport (AASTMT) in Alexandria on October 3, 2015. The Workshop, entitled Travel Opportunities for Outstanding

Future (TOOF), aimed to promote diversity and tolerance among Egyptian youth as well as to encourage them to explore

travel opportunities that exist in Egypt and abroad as a means for personal and community development. The day began

with opening remarks by Dr. Meer Hamza, Vice President for International Relations, AASTMT; Dr. Arturo Acosto,

Deputy Director of the Education and Training Office, USAID; representatives of IIE; and the TOOF chairperson Ms. Doaa

Hassan, (Cohort 1.2, Port Said), Pharmacy, FUE.

Opening remarks were then followed by a presentation by the Information Resource Center, U.S. Consulate Alexandria

and by a recognition ceremony for the second group of LOTUS students to graduate. Plenary sessions were led by Ms.

Sahar El-Nadi, author, public speaker and trainer, Mr. Nour El-Din Zoghly, Network Project Manager, Orange Business

Services. Both speakers shared their experiences about traveling and the importance of being exposed to different

cultures. Attendees then were divided into two groups based on whether they were interested in traveling domestically

or abroad. The breakout sessions were led by guest speakers/mentors who discussed the workshop’s themes in more

detail.

The Fifth Annual LOTUS Student-led Leadership Workshop

The Fifth Annual LOTUS Student-led Leadership Workshop took place at the Future University in Egypt (FUE) on April 2,

2016. The Workshop, entitled PAUSE, sought to encourage positivity among Egyptian youth and aimed to help them

press “pause” on sources of negativity so that they could think positively and achieve their academic, professional, and

personal goals. The Workshop was attended by LOTUS students, alumni, and external guests.

The day began with opening remarks made by FUE President Dr. Ebada Sarhan, Institute of International Education (IIE)

staff, and Beshoy Atef, PAUSE Chairperson. Participants then attended plenary sessions lead by Mr. Abdelmageed Ewis,

Mr. Amir Tadros Botros, and Mr. Walid Aboul El Magd, and breakout sessions lead by individuals from a diverse range of

fields and walks of life. By participating in the sessions and networking with speakers and with each other, attendees

learned different ways to adopt positivity in order to enhance their lives and ultimately their communities.

The Workshop organizers organized a cultural trip and debriefing session at the Pharaonic Village as a way to celebrate

their accomplishments and also to come together to debrief about the Workshop and draft the final report. The first

part of the day consisted of a tour of the Village and the second part focused on reflecting about the lessons learned

from the Workshop planning and implementation in order to draft the report.

The Sixth Annual LOTUS Student-led Leadership Workshop

On July 22 and July 23, a camp was held at the Cataract Pyramids Hotel during which there were general organizers’

meetings, individual committee meetings, and advisory board meetings. The organizing committee continues to move

forward with preparations for the upcoming Workshop which will be held at BUE on Saturday, October 22 and will focus

on helping participants plan and search for careers that match their interests and skills.

Service Learning Projects

Service Learning Projects are an integral part of the Leadership in Action component as they provide opportunities for

students to put what they have learned into practice while serving the needs of different communities. IIE has

developed a grant system for students to apply for funding to support the implementation of service learning projects.

The maximum amount available for each project is EGP 2,500.

In order to apply, groups of students must submit a detailed proposal and budget. IIE staff provide mentoring and

guidance when needed. The first call-for-applications was made for graduating Cohort 1 and 2 students in order to give

them the chance to work on a project before graduating, and to all Cohort 3 students as IIE wanted to take advantage of

having all of the students together in the bridge year. It is a competitive process and only the winning proposals are the

ones which hold a developmental idea that will serve the community better and contribute even with a marginal share

in solving a problem of a needy household. Projects that are approved are given 75% of the funding before

implementation and then receive the remaining 25% after completing the project, submitting a final project report, and

all required documentation.

To-date, 62 teams completed service learning projects, two of which are implemented during FY2016 on themes such as

health awareness campaigns, cultural days and training for orphans, environmental awareness campaigns, encouraging

families to keep girls in school, self-discovery sessions, and sessions on different university fields of study for high school

students. Students have implemented a wide variety of projects that have reached 18 governorates. Themes have

included health awareness campaigns, cultural days and training for orphans, environmental awareness campaigns,

encouraging families to keep girls in school, self-discovery sessions, and sessions on different university fields of study

for high school students. A total of 242 students have participated in one or more projects. For the SLP Tracker 2016

please refer to Annex (4) of this report

Internships

During FY2016, IIE secured the following documentation for the following 83 internships:

The internships were sourced by IIE, NM, and the students. Internships took place in a variety of companies,

organizations, and entities including AlexBank, Jobzella.com, Agiba Petroleum Company, and Gomhoreya General

Hospital-Alexandria.

Nahdet El Mahrousa Enrichment Activities

During FY2016, NM focused on the career component after the completion of other activities of

the program. As more of the LOTUS students were graduating, NM woked to build their capacity

for finding suitable jobs and most importantly plan for career paths. Moreover, the NM team

has been encouraging the students, using the career counseling activity, to participate in

internships even if not in their field of study especially for those who have little to no work

experience.

For the Career component, 145 Career Self-assessment were completed by 87 Cohort 1

students and 58 Cohort 2 students. 298 Career Counseling Sessions for 190 Cohort 1 and 107

Cohort 2 students and one student from Cohort 4 who sought counselling from IIE.

NM team worked on designing the mentoring days considering it was set as a priority during the IIE/NM monthly

meetings. The program was designed to include general and field-related mentoring days. 107 mentoring days were

conducted during FY2016 including general mentoring days Career mentoring entails events, gatherings and workshops

led by individuals that are experts in a wide range of fields and successful. It also entails any work experience or job

shadowing that lasts for less than a week. Students acquire knowledge about fields of interest through others’

experiences as well as through personally gained experience. Two types of mentoring days are offered: general, in

which all students participate given the general nature of the topics such; and field-related which could be in groups or

individually and are based on student interests.

During FY2016, the NM team woked to have students complete their Tamheed self-assessments so that students and

alumni can go through the relevant career counseling and analysis session. The students and alumni completed 145

assessments prior to the career counseling sessions held at universities and prior to the Viriphi assessment days so that

NM could conduct some of the post-Tamheed career counseling sessions.

As an additional way to provide LOTUS students and alumni with support, NM identified a new career assessment tool

by Viriphi. Viriphi tests the following six main workplace competencies: problem solving, professional writing,

interpersonal skills, verbal comprehension, and English conversation and teamwork skills. The Viriphi team developed

the assessment based on research done with employers on what they found to be lacking in job seekers and what they

were looking for in trying to fill positions.

NM is helping students find suitable internship opportunities within its network and in incubated social enterprises in

and outside of Cairo, as well as reaching out to several organizations and companies beyond its network to source

opportunities for the LOTUS students. They are also building a database of possible/suitable opportunities based on

students’ fields of study, preferences and interests.

Volunteering and Community Service

During FY2016, IIE measured the students' community service involvement through an online survey service which

sends on a quarterly basis, a form to students to capture the volunteering hours they devoted to their communities and

the leadership roles that they assumed. This system has replaced the online survey tool which was used previously to

collect data from students. The data collected is then uploaded into our comprehensive database.

Though the students were quite busy with their academic courses, internships, study abroad and extracurricular

activities, collectively they were able to achieve 8,067 of community service hours, of which 4,994 hours where

performed by female students and 3,073 hours by male students. 209 leadership roles were assumed in volunteer work

of which 123 roles are undertaken by female students and 86 roles for male students. Leadership roles reported are

increasing as the students acquire more leadership skills.

The level of community involvement differs from one student to another depending on the passions and interests of

each student and how they envision their roles within their communities.

Leadership in Action Program: Challenges and Actions Taken:

Career Component Targets

As we shared in the previous Annual Progress Report, the delay of the start of the career component, in addition to the

students’ demanding schedules, has resulted in delayed targets. NM expressed before a concern that it is not always

feasible to have more than one in-person counseling session with each student per semester. As a result, IIE suggested

that virtual career counseling be added to the component to supplement the in-person sessions. NM’s career advisor

provides students with feedback and advice over the phone, email, and Skype. IIE has extended its agreement with NM

to continue providing career development support to students through December 2016.

The biggest challenge continues to be securing documentation for internships that Cohort 1 and 2 students pursued. In

many cases, employers did not issue certificates. In response, IIE created a template that students could have

employers complete whenever possible. IIE continues to follow up with students and alumni in order to secure

documentation.

Capacity Building Sessions for Partner Universities

To date, a total of 427 participants (out of a target of 500 participants) from five universities have attended these

seminars. PUA has showed a high level of interest in having a seventh follow up workshop for the evaluation theme

with a focus on practical application and more case studies tailored to their future anticipated needs. IIE will use the

available funds from this component line item to hold at least three more sessions during the next quarter at FUE, BUE,

and PUA. We are also awaiting confirmation from AASTMT about their level of interest in these leadership seminars to

start in FY2017.

partners.

With the goal of providing youth in Cairo with opportunities to re-discover some of Egypt's lost history and traditions, LOTUS students created two programs, "Tarikona" (Our History) and "2aslo Sharki" (Eastern Origins). The former was to provide 8 unique guided tours of historical places within Cairo, while the latter provided free music lessons on the traditional Egyptian "oud". The four students managed the following accomplishments: buying 3 ouds and soliciting a trainer, as well as conducting one session for 9 participants. They also managed to formalize a program for the 8 guided tours, as well as conduct a test workshop for 5 participants.

Three students from Cohort 3, were inspired by the potential of creating young leaders and thus put together the project, "Can I be a Leader?". The project was successful in training 30 female orphans (15 at a Muslim orphanage and 15 in a Christian orphanage) and equipping them with basic leadership skills through workshops. In addition to the workshops, orphans also watched inpirational videos and played games facilitated by LOTUS students. At the end of the program, LOTUS students collected Evaluation Sheets, which showed overwhelming positive feedback.
