Farewell Dinner of the Continuing Education Program for Swiss Teachers at Salve Regina, Newport
The Consulate of Switzerland/ swissnex Boston was invited to join the farewell dinner of the Continuing Education Program for Swiss Teachers at Salve Regina University on August 1, 2008. The program, intended for prospective English teachers, was organized by Heinrich Wirth, Dean of Continuing Education and Graduate Studies at Thurgau University of Teacher Education and George Antone, Director of International Programs at Salve Regina University. Heinrich Wirth came in touch with Salve Regina on a study trip for Swiss Universities of Applied Sciences to the Greater Boston area that was organized by swissnex Boston in 2004. He then decided that Salve Regina would be an ideal place for a continuing education program. After four years of preparations the program became reality. 
The farewell dinner afforded swissnex Boston with the opportunity to get a glimpse of what the previous weeks had to offer and how much the Swiss teachers had enjoyed a great time at Newport. Not only the interesting mix of courses, but also Salve Regina’s exceptional hospitality in accommodating the Swiss teachers contributed to an outstanding program.
