Celebrating 100 years of Exchange
Visit in France of the Dean of Princeton’s Graduate School
In the academic year of 1922/1923, the first ENS student left France to visit the Graduate School of Princeton, supported by the Jane Eliza Procter Fellowship. Since then, the exchange of students between the two institutions never stopped – except during global crisis – and nowadays, up to eight students from each institution are visiting the other institution every year. On the occasion of the signing ceremony, both institutions are pleased to celebrate a remarkable partnership.
At the crossroads of past and future
