Keylor Keynotes at Paris Celebration
For 25 years, Boston University has enjoyed a special connection with the Cite Universitaire in Paris. The study abroad program, spearheaded by Boston University Global Programs, was commemorated with keynote speeches and comedy on Nov. 14.
Dr. William Keylor, professor of history and international relations at the Frederick S. Pardee School of Global Studies at Boston University, delivered the keynote speech at the joyeux anniversaire, which also featured BU alumnus and comedian Stephen Marx.
“The audience consisted of French guests, alumni of the program, and others. The topic of my talk was France and America: The Love-Hate (Mostly Love) Relationship of Four Centuries,” said Keylor. “I was introduced by Willis Wang, Vice President and Associate Provost for Global Programs at Boston University.”
The Paris Internship Program offers a semester of study and work in the hub of French and European business and culture. The program combines an internship with intensive French-language study and liberal arts courses. French faculty from local universities teach courses on contemporary France that are specifically designed for students in the Boston University program.
