AGS Hosts a Wine and Cheese Cocktail for its Paris Alumni

On October 28th, AGS hosted a convivial cocktail event bringing together its Paris alumni to connect or reconnect around an informal buffet of French wine and cheeses.

AGS Paris alumni are from a wide variety of national origins - from Nigeria to New Zealand, from Germany to Iran, from Haiti to the USA - and typically decided to stay in Paris after they finished their studies at AGS. Among the alumni present were Sarah Ayewah, who now works for the Nigerian delegation to UNESCO, Tim Francis, now also working at UNESCO, Tierra McMahon, who is interning at the OECD, Joseph Mangarella, now a Ph.D. candidate in African Studies, who teaches legal English at the prestigious Université de Paris-Assas Law School, Brandon Roddey, account developer in the Energy sector, Christiane Peuker, Senior Sales Manager at Xing Events GmbH, Patrick Clairzier, Ph.D. candidate who teaches in the undergraduate program at AGS, as well as Bita Beni, Ashley Stepanek, and Wren Peyrard, who not only couldn't leave Paris, but couldn't leave AGS! All three now have administrative and academic responsibilities at the school.

Also present was Gankhet Ariunbold, from Mongolia, who happened to be on a business trip from Ulaanbaatar, where he works for the Mongolian government, in the department of defense.

"It is always great to have the chance to reconnect - or connect for the first time - with fellow alumni, says Wren Peyrard. It was especially nice to catch up with Gankhet Ariunbold whom I hadn't seen since he moved back to Mongolia. AGS is a special place that creates bonds across the world."
