Sunday afternoon, July 6: We ended our 60th anniversary of study abroad journey with the celebration of something new: The launch of Arcadia’s summer study abroad program in Paris. Our group gathered at Hotel de Crillion along with new Paris program students, and faculty and staff from the American Graduate School for International Relations and Diplomacy (Arcadia’s affiliated campus in Paris) for an elegant and memorable reception.
Held in a large room with décor in the style of Grey Tower’s Mirror Room, we were welcomed by James Bullock, Minister Counsel for Public Affairs at the U.S. Embassy in Paris. Arcadia President Jerry Greiner reminisced about our past and offered a toast to Arcadia Trustee Marie-Louise Vermeiren Jackson, whose generosity and support made this new program possible. Two students in our group, Megan Thrash and Shaina McAndrews, are staying on in Paris to participate in the summer program. Sue Richardson from Arcadia’s Center for Education Abroad, will be stationed here during this time.
In additional to the delicious and uniquely presented hors d’ouvres and beverages, one highlight was stepping out onto the room’s balcony for a view of Place de Concorde. It was a joyful and memorable celebration--one that we will not soon forget.
