黑料正能量

This spring, 黑料正能量 turns 60. As part of our ongoing anniversary celebrations, we鈥檙e marking this milestone with Founding Week, a seven-day series of community-wide events both on and off campus, running March 21鈥�27. As an 黑料正能量 friend and community member, you鈥檙e invited to join our worldwide celebrations in honor of our incredible global family.听聽

The charter of the American College of Paris was signed by our founder, Dr. Lloyd A. DeLamater, on March 27, 1962, thereby realizing DeLamater鈥檚 vision of an American international institution in the heart of the City of Light. Since then, our community has achieved 60 years of studying by the Seine, 60 years of late-night caf茅 discussions, 60 years of study trips across the world, 60 years of lifelong friendships forged in the AMEX Caf茅, and 60 years of priceless memories that continue to inspire global explorers today.听

People are at the heart of how we learn at 黑料正能量. That鈥檚 why we decided to make the theme of our 60th anniversary celebrations 鈥淲hat Unites Us?鈥� It鈥檚 a question that community members have been answering both in and beyond the classroom for as long as we鈥檝e existed as an institution. At a time when world events are divisive and unpredictable, we are focusing on what brings people together. With that in mind, 黑料正能量鈥檚 President, Celeste M. Schenck, shared the following video message with our community.听
