The commencement speaker this year will be European Deputy and former French Prime Minister Michel Rocard. In the past years, the commencement address has been delivered by the Arab League Ambassador to UNESCO, H.E. Nassif Hitti; Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist and editorial page editor for the International Herald Tribune, Serge Schmemann; and former French Prime Minister, Alain Juppé, to name just a few. Like every year, this year's graduating class is very international, with graduates from the United States, Brazil, Canada, Sweden, Germany, Morocco, and India. |

Ryan MillsUnited States From current issues in the Middle East taught together by an Iranian historian and an Israelli journalist, to NGO management taught by the director of Human Rights Watch in France, every class was fascinating and taught by some of the most impressive people I could ever have imagined. I immediately felt at home in this small but active AGS community because, although students and professors are all from different parts of the world, everyone takes the time to understand each other's perspective. Overall, I would recommend AGS to anyone with a thirst for intellectual stimulation and a drive to not only understand the world of international relations, but engage in it.. |
