Dear Professor Douthwaite,

I was just looking through the website for SUNDEF and wanted to say that things look great in Angers! As a student there 9 years ago, I had one of those "best year of my life" experiences that are so common for students whose horizons are expanded during study in a "foreign" land. Seeing the new things that are now part of the SUNDEF experience, ranging from volunteerism and integration into UCO classes to educational trips to Brussels and that *magnificent* sounding class in French literature/cuisine, I am sure that this year's students will undoubtedly leave Angers with even more exciting and rewarding experiences. I know that you and your recent predecessors have worked hard to improve the Angers experience for the students. I just wanted to say congratulations for all that has been accomplished. Best regards, Michael Douglass SUNDEF 28 / ND Class of '96
