01.04.2012 | Alumni Assistants at American Corners, March 2012 Report
March 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.
Named after Saint Catherine, the namesake of Peter the Great’s first wife, Yekaterinburg was founded in 1723. The Bolshevik government exiled the Tsar and his family to Yekaterinburg after the Revolution and executed them on July 17, 1918. This city of over 1.3 million hosts more than 100 universities and colleges, a conservatory, five concert halls, many theatres, 13 museums and more than 50 libraries. The city operates large industries in heavy machinery, steel, chemicals, tires, petroleum and gem cutting. The American Center opened in November 1994.
