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'.

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..
