As KIIS celebrates its 50th anniversary, I celebrate the fact that I have been involved with this wonderful organization for twenty of these years. I have the privilege of having had a very satisfying career as a History professor and international educator, but nothing has been more gratifying than teaching on the Paris I program and then directing and co-directing it. As a French native, it is always a renewed wonder to rediscover my home country through the eyes of students who first experience it. I look forward to sharing France with you.
