Dear students, families, faculty and staff, good afternoon, and thank you all for being here today. As CEO and President of Schiller International University, I would like to conclude today’s proceedings by sharing just a few words with our graduates and new ALUMNI.

Last week we told you about our Paris campus inauguration event. And now, we take you through a tour of the premises so you can see for yourself why Paris needs to be included on your Schiller international experience bucket list.

Last week, students in Heidelberg held their graduation ceremony in full bloom, after two years of not being able to graduate in person.

Last Saturday young students in their Junior Year (11^th grade) roamed the halls of our Madrid campus discussing issues such as the challenge of migration flows, the 32-hour working week or disinformation as an attack on democracy.

The new Public Speaking class from our Madrid campus graduated last month with the traditional challenge: a 5 minutes speech on how, each student, is going to change the world in front of a live audience.
