As the community gears up for Harvest Thanksgiving Celebration (HTC), preparations are in full swing. At the same time, the selection process for next year’s participants is also underway.

Staff members are divided into several groups, holding repeated discussions based on materials and interviews prepared by the admissions team to select candidates one by one. ARI Participants all agree that ARI’s selection process was truly challenging, requiring them to answer numerous questions.

This process, demanding patience from both selectors and candidates, is the first step toward the success of the new academic year and the emergence of future rural community leaders.
