The 40th year of the UWM – JLU Giessen exchange!

Jeff Zimm (MA 1988) sent some wonderful photos – many thanks. His trip down memory lane took him to the summer of 1988 when he participated in the second year of the UWM – JLU Giessen Student Exchange. That makes this summer the 40th consecutive year that students have been exchanged between UWM and our German partner, JLU. What a fantastic history!

This year Prof. Avik Chakrabarti will be leading the joint summer school in Giessen and we look forward to having JLU students in the fall.
