We congratulate them warmly for reaching this milestone in their lives and wish them all the best in their adventures ahead. They will become adults in no time and hopefully many of them will join forceswith the rest of us to make a difference in the AISB community and education.

 

On this note we, the editorial committee thought it would be a great opportunity to have careers as the main focus of this edition, with a concentration on sports. We are honoured to have OlympicChampion Valeria Răcilă van Groningen talk to us about her impressive career and the importance ofsports in our lives.

 

In this issue you will also find interviews with Athletics & Activities Director, Scott Hibbard, with alumni who are active in the AISB Athletics Department, coaching the high school soccer and basketballteams, and also with alumna Simona Popescu who studied Sports Management and is now working at the Romanian Rugby Federation.

 

The magazine features columns about “giving back” and “the powerful opportunity of a diverseeducation”, topics that AISB and the Alumni Association promote greatly, as well as career news fromour alumni.

 

This publication is a powerful communication tool. It gives us the opportunity to interact with current and former AISB Alumni and also provides our readers with updates on the school and thewhereabouts of its alumni.

 

WORLD Magazine strives to present news, stories and other content in the course of each year that is of particular interest or pertinence to the AISB Alumni and the community.
