Shortly following the intense soccer tournament, all AIB students and host families gathered together for fun and merriment. The event was started off right with an introduction from the mayor of Bonn, which included a short history of Bonn and a welcome to all the students. There were mountains of delicious foods and great live music from the local band, Steal a Taxi. Each AIB program had the opportunity to introduce themselves to all the host families and fellow study-abroaders.
The LMU groups opted for just a simple introduction, while the students from Penn State and Texas A&M showed the crowd some famous football chants. The Italian students had the entire audience involved with their crossword that eventually spelled out the opening lines to their national anthem. The AIB did a great job putting together this event where all the students and host families were able to make connections and spread the international love.
