In December 2006 Dr. Douglas Yates was invited by the United States Information Services (USIS) to give a series of lectures in Mauritania to young aspiring politicians. The wokshops were entitled "The Coming Generation: How Young Political Leaders can Influence their Country's Future". Dr Yates had training sessions in the capital city, Nouakchott, and in the Southern provincial towns of Kaedi, Kiffa and Aleg.

In addition to the many benefits of studying international relations in a highly specialized program, located in a dynamic city that fosters learning the discipline, my overall experience at AGS has been enhanced by an outstanding administrative staff that is diligent, professional and, above all, friendly. Their tireless efforts are key in making the experience of AGS students positive. I have done my best to thank them with good French desserts and bad American humor!
