Presenting the evening鈥檚 topic and animating the discussion was James Vernon, one of the founders of a hedge fund that ranks among the world鈥檚 largest. He gave an insider鈥檚 view and explained how, contrary to the common perception, hedge funds may actually contribute to the world鈥檚 global economic development. 鈥淚t was interesting to get more insight into a subject that does not directly fall within the discipline of international relations but is definitely relevant in order to better understand the global economic landscape鈥�, says AGS alumna and study abroad coordinator Jennifer Wright, class of 2009.

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!
