Thank you for being great

The program coordinator, Andres Tabarez, really put together a great program. He knew all of the students and was not only a huge help in anything I needed but also a pleasure to hang out with and talk to. He put together great class trips and activities that we all enjoyed. Also my professor, Paco Gil was the best professor I've had.
