Lasalle College, along with the global LCI Education Network, recently hosted a warm and celebratory Appreciation Day event in New Delhi. The gathering brought together leading Indian education partners to acknowledge their contribution in connecting Indian students with international learning opportunities, especially in creative and design fields.
At a time when so many young people are exploring design, animation, hospitality, fashion, and media studies abroad, it becomes important to understand how these partnerships work behind the scenes. They influence everything from course accessibility to student support and new programme introductions.
This gathering in New Delhi also shows how global institutions view India as a key talent hub. That is why documenting such events matters—it helps students, parents, counsellors, and educators stay informed about future opportunities.
Appreciation Day: Strengthening a Longstanding Partnership
Lasalle College and the LCI Education Network have been present in India for many years through institutional tie-ups, student support channels, and awareness programmes. Appreciation Day in New Delhi was organised to recognise the counsellors, agency partners, and academic representatives who help guide Indian students toward international education every year.
The event also highlighted the role of these partners in helping students understand programme options, application processes, scholarships, and campus life abroad. Many partners working in cities like Delhi, Bengaluru, Mumbai, Hyderabad, and Kolkata shared how they have seen a growing interest in creative fields in the last few years.
Focus on Creative Education and Global Careers
Lasalle College is widely known for offering programmes in areas such as fashion design, interior design, animation, graphic design, VFX, hospitality, and business-related courses. Representatives at the event mentioned that Indian students often stand out in creativity-driven programmes and form one of the largest student communities across multiple LCI campuses.
During the event, the team from Lasalle College shared updates on:
- New pathways for Indian students in design and creative technology
- Industry-linked projects that give students hands-on exposure
- Support systems for first-year international students
- Growing collaborations with companies for internships
Many attendees appreciated the transparent communication and personalised guidance provided by the Lasalle and LCI teams, which helps students make informed choices.
Building a Strong Network for Indian Students
One of the key messages of the event was the importance of collaboration. Indian education partners play a major role in shaping the first steps of a student’s international journey. By recognising their work formally, Lasalle College emphasised how much value these partnerships bring to the global network.
The discussions also touched on several important points:
- Increasing demand for programmes in digital art and design
- Rising interest in Canada, especially for creative and applied arts courses
- Need for updated information about campus requirements and portfolios
- Importance of long-term cooperation between institutions and Indian agencies
Why This Event Matters for Students and Institutions
Events like Appreciation Day create a platform for academic partners to exchange real experiences and challenges. For Indian students, this directly translates into better-quality counselling, clearer information, and smoother application processes.
For institutions like Lasalle College, it is an opportunity to understand the changing expectations of Indian students, especially when it comes to affordability, industry exposure, and post-study opportunities.
