Meindeg Moien Lundi Matin *Monday Morning* Montag Morgen

19 MAY 2008

Good morning, everyone! It is indeed a

great pleasure to welcome you to the John E.

Dolibois European Campus, to Luxembourg

and to Europe. All of us at MUDEC, the

faculty and staff, are happy that you are

here and wish you a most rewarding,

meaningful and enjoyable stay. The next six

weeks are going to be some of the most

exciting, fast paced and challenging ones in

your life. While all of us at MUDEC are

committed to helping and guiding you as you

go through this European experience, it is

really your responsibility to get the most out of

it. So, take advantage of the marvelous

opportunity you have to study and to live in

Europe. Plan all of your activities well and

ascertain that you are allocating your time,

your energy and your resources wisely,

effective and efficiently. Your commitment to

academics is essential and the most important

of all.

The orientation activities you had

participated in this past weekend were

designed to provide you with useful

information, with opportunities to become

acquainted with MUDEC and Luxembourg

and to help you with the process of

“bonding”; essential for you to feel “at

home” at MUDEC. Your positive attitude,

your punctuality and your team spirit were and

are much appreciated. We have spent many

days and hours planning the orientation

program and the various excursions for you

and are gratified to see how much all of you

enjoyed them.

A special “thank you” goes to the faculty

and staff members who participated in the

different orientation activities. They gave up

even part of their weekend to make this

possible. It was a wonderful and most

enjoyable “MUDEC family” experience for all

of us.

The success of MUDEC at large and of your

summer program, specifically, rests on three

solid pillars, which in their entirety

represent the foundation of your European

experience. They are in sequence of

priorities: 1) Your and our commitment to

an excellent, timely and relevant academic

program, 2) the opportunity to experience

European family and social life and 3)

Center sponsored and individual travels.

For you to benefit from your European

experience and to get the most out of it, it is of

utmost importance that you manage your

resources wisely and that you allocate your

time and your energy according to the priorities

established by the MUDEC program.

To assure the continued excellent academic

reputation and success of our program, it is

essential that you accept and abide by the

attendance, conduct, and social rules we

have established and discussed in our

orientation lectures.

I feel that we are off to a very good summer

program and would like to thank you for your

attentiveness, your cooperation and for your

positive attitude. With all of us working

together we will have a great summer term.

Again, I extend to you my warmest welcome

to MUDEC, to Luxembourg and to Europe.

I am delighted that you are here and wish

you most wonderful, enlightening and

enriching summer term and European

experience.

Most sincerely,

Ekkehard Stiller
