This day trip is organized every year by the AGS Graduate Student Association to celebrate the start of the Fall semester. It is a nice way to introduce the new students to the tasty wonders of the country that they will get to call home for the next few months or years. Thank you Andy Lowe for sharing these pictures with us: |
On September 13, all AGS students, new and continuing, graduate and undergraduate, were invited to spend the day in the charming town of Antony near Paris, at the annual Wine and Cheese Festival (Foire aux Fromages et aux Vins). This is a festive event where everyone can enjoy tastings of all kinds, cooking lessons, games, music and dance in honor of French 'produits du terroir'.

AGS brought me closer to the world, and to those multinational perspectives that always tended to evade a simple islander. My own ideals were tested and defended on a daily basis, as I was challenged by almost everyone, from German, Russian and Ghanaian classmates to Ambassadors and professors, who have time and again embraced the practical and academic realms of life. Paris' hard-knock life style, AGS' academic structure and my own drive to succeed have definitely provided me with the foundation to give working life the pursuit it deserves.
