A delegation of Embassy representatives, led by Ambassador Andrew, joined Rector Jose Zaglul on the Liberia campus of EARTH University to inaugurate the opening of Costa Rica’s first Science Corner. At the opening ceremony, Ambassador Andrew emphasized the value of the Corner's contributions to education and information exchange for Costa Rica, the U.S. and the region. Representatives from the Liberian City Council, EARTH University, Costa Rican Binational Center and general public participated in the event. 

Ambassador Andrew also inaugurated new academic facilities at the Liberia EARTH University campus. USAID American Schools and Hospitals Abroad (ASHA) donated $600,000 dollars to construct the environmentally friendly facility, which combines vanguard technologies and materials that minimize their environmental impact while conserving water and energy.
