Elite Education Group International Limited Announces Corporate Name Change to EpicQuest Education Group International Limited

 

MIDDLETOWN, Ohio, August 31, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Elite Education Group International Limited (NASDAQ: EEIQ), a provider of comprehensive education solutions for domestic and international students interested in college and university programs in the US, Canada and the UK, today announced that it is changing its corporate name to EpicQuest Education Group International Limited (“EpicQuest Education" or the “Company”), with this new corporate name change to be effective immediately. The Company’s common stock will continue to trade on the NASDAQ Capital market under the ticker symbol “EEIQ”; and our new Company website is www.epicquesteducation.com.

 

“Our corporate name change to EpicQuest Education more accurately reflects our focus on students’ individual journeys and our mission to help them in their quest to achieve academic and career success,” stated Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Jianbo Zhang, “As we continue to grow, we intend to become even more focused on helping students attain their aspirational goals though a wide spectrum of academic programming, flexible learning environments and career-oriented education that leads to fulfilling employment.”

 

“Our mission is to create an enriched educational experience to better prepare our students for the global marketplace by internationalizing both our curriculum and our student body. As an owner and operator of for-profit colleges, our mission continues to evolve with the advent of pathway programs and numerous collaborations with colleges and universities around the world which we believe will empower our students for their lifelong journeys ahead,” CEO Mr. Zhang concluded.

 

The Company, through its subsidiary Quest Holding International LLC, located in Middletown, OH, is firmly committed to our relationship with the regional campuses of Miami University of Ohio where we continue to provide students who want to study abroad a turnkey approach that includes the best possible living accommodations, security arrangements and support services for them to be successful in their academic studies. The Company, through its controlling equity positions in Davis College located in Toledo, OH, and EduGlobal College located in Vancouver, BC, Canada, has re-strategized to further internationalize our student demographic thereby creating a higher level of diversity and inclusiveness.

 

A vital component of EpicQuest Education’s growth plan is to build cross-border relationships and make strategic acquisitions to establish EpicQuest Education as a truly international service provider of higher learning. We believe that serving niche markets that meaningfully connects our academic programming to students who may not ordinarily pursue higher education, but that enables them to reach their aspirational goals, is a positive and effective business model, and one that will be successful in providing solid returns to all of our students and shareholders alike.
