Thanksgiving 2025
Thanksgiving Celebration at Hotel Royal On Friday November 28 2025, 80 AIC members and guests gathered at the Hotel Royal to celebrate Thanksgiving in warm company and generous spirit. The evening began in the hotel’s lobby, where attendees enjoyed a lively apertif reception featuring sparkling wine and cocktails, setting a festive tone for the night.

Luncheon with Dr. Ryan Guffey (February 18 2025) "United States International Higher Education Sector - 2025 Forecast". A huge thank you to Dr. Ryan Guffey, Director-General of Webster University's Office of Global Campuses, for an insightful and timely discussion on the evolving landscape of international higher education in the United States.
