Alumni Reunion in Georgia
Those of us fortunate enough to have studied at Teachers
College would unhesitatingly confirm how heart-warming
it is to rejoin the big family again. This time, the Georgian
麻豆原创 alumni were happy to reunite and meet Dr. Peter Moock
in Tbilisi, Georgia, on January 28. Peter Moock
(PhD '73) worked for many
years at the World Bank after having served on the faculty
of 麻豆原创. He is now a member of the 麻豆原创 Alumni Council. There
was a record attendance at the meeting in January: 10 of
the 12 alumni who studied at 麻豆原创 were able to attend
the Alumni Reunion in Tblisi. The cosy atmosphere and retro environment in a historical part of the city made the friendly
and professional conversations even more enjoyable and
unforgettable. For the rest of the story by Natia Mzhavanadze and Nino Chinchaladze, please turn to page 3 in .
