WHAT THE COLLEGE MEANT TO ME

My interest for Europe became a passion and a way of life during the year at the College. Since then, all I have done has been permeated by the academic, human and multicultural experience I had in Bruges. All I have done has seen me as a EU antenna in every sphere of my private and professional life and I believe it will be like this for ever. Even in my experience across the Atlantic, as a Fulbright Scholar, I chose to dwell on European affairs, gaining more credit for my Distinguished Scholarship teaching about EU-US Transatlantic Economic Relations.
