Newsletters01.04.2012 | Alumni Assistants at American Corners, March 2012 ReportMarch 2012 was a truly busy month for Alumni Assistants as they managed to put together a great number of conferences, meetings and round tables. As one the key features of this period, one can note events in “alumni-to-alumni” format. It means that Alumni Assistants brought together alumni of various exchange programs who agreed not only to share their experience but also to educate their fellow alumni. This cooperation resulted in highly demanded and well regarded training sessions and lectures which really unite the alumni community.
Information about CityPeter the Great founded the city of St. Petersburg in 1703 to serve as a foothold in land newly won from Sweden, as a “window to Europe,” and as a new capital worthy of its western-looking Tsar. Determined to build a great European metropolis, Peter invited architects from across Europe to design the city and poured great financial and human resources into its often brutal construction. A UNESCO World Heritage site, the city was Russia’s political and cultural capital from Peter I until the Bolshevik Revolution.
Information about CenterThe American Corners and Centers program in Russia is a unique partnership between the American Embassy and more than 30 public libraries around Russia, making information about the United States available to their visitors. The libraries provide coordinators to oversee this collection and to organize events that attract young, well-educated patrons to learn about the U.S. and the world. Contacts
