Remerciements
-
We would like to thank the donors who made it possible for
us to travel to France, and to spend an absolutely amazing fortnight there.
This has been an invaluable part of our education.
-
Prof. Gilberte Furstenberg ably led us through the city
of Paris - its narrow alleys and complicated restaurant menus. She told us
enough to set us on our individual voyages of discovery, and then set us
free to experience life
à la française .
-
How can we forget Sophie de la Rivière? Our guide
to the past and present of Paris, she infected us with her enthusiasm and
joie de vivre. As a good host should, she made
sure we were always having fun, and put us at our ease even in unfamiliar
surroundings.
-
Our thanks go out to all the people at the Department of Foreign Languages
and Literatures at MIT - Shannon McCord and Pamela
Florek, to name a few.
-
And last, but not least, we are indebted to our predecessors - the
January Scholars in France, 2003 with Prof. Edward
B. Turk. As the first participants in the program, their experience
and encouragement were an invaluable resource!
