Event Recap

Carissimi Bolognesi,

We have just concluded an extraordinary and memorable Alumni Weekend, the first in presence after two years of virtual events necessitated by the COVID-19 pandemic. It was touching and thrilling to see you all in person, with eyes smiling behind the masks.

I wish to thank each and every one of the more than 700 alumni and guests from 35 different countries who registered for the event, constituting one of the highest turnouts on record. Your energy, enthusiasm and commitment were palpable, and you made it a wonderful weekend for us all!

This year, we are particularly proud to have been able to offer a rich substantive program, during which we could showcase the academic and policy expertise of both our professors and alumni. In addition, we were honored to host Johns Hopkins President Ronald Daniels and the new Dean of SAIS, James Steinberg, who provided updates on developments at the University and SAIS levels, respectively, and participated as experts in various panels.

I know how much alumni enjoy coming to Bologna to reunite with classmates, catch up with former professors, visit old haunts in Bologna, and enjoy spending time together. I noted with pleasure the great interest taken in our activities, and I hope we were able to share meaningful updates to you on how SAIS Europe has been doing over the past two years of pandemic and our plans for the future. On behalf of the entire faculty and staff, let me assure you that it was truly an immense pleasure for us to catch up with you as well.

We also raised some $54,000 during the event, which you generously donated in new gifts and commitments around this weekend. Most of these gifts have a double impact as they will be matched by the generous matching program offered by JHU Trustee, Bologna alumnus, and Advisory Council Chair James Anderson.

As you know by now, this was for me the last Alumni Weekend in Bologna as Director of SAIS Europe, and I want to express my sincere gratitude to all of you for your warm reception and kind words, which I found to be truly touching.

Enjoy!

Please let me take this opportunity to invite you to join our Amici di Bologna 2022 Symposium & Celebrations in New York on Saturday, October 15, 2022. Mark your calendar and stay tuned for more here.

Last but not least, SAIS Europe has confirmed the dates for Alumni Weekend in 2023 in Bologna on 28-30 April 2023, pandemic permitting, of course. A new Bologna Center Director will be appointed by that time, but I look forward to seeing you all back in Bologna in my capacity as alumnus and faculty member of our beloved Bologna Center.

Grazie mille and enjoy your Summer!
