Student Testimonial
"The experience was immensely rewarding from both a personal and professional viewpoint. The trip afforded me the opportunity to interact with students from other universities, both from the USA and France. The discussions held were enriching and thought-provoking. The European Union meetings were of a high caliber and speakers well qualified. These lectures introduced new fields of knowledge and interest to me. The travel arrangements were excellent and the daily programs were executed without delays."
