OUR TEAM

The staff at the AIB includes full time positions, part-time student workers and experienced freelance professionals. Our backgrounds vary from being artistic to technical, but we all have one thing in common: We all like the idea of interacting with young Americans, soon-to-be new professionals in their field of study.

Germany is not all Lederhosen, Beer and Yodeling; we do not wear Lederhosen and we also do not know how to yodel. From our own experiences we do know however, where our students are coming from and what they might feel like upon encountering a whole new continent and culture that may, at first, seem drastically different from their own. With our knowledge of ‘both worlds’ we would like to assist the students in extending their comfort zone to include Germany and other European countries.

We really want to help and assist our participants as much as we can. We respect students as adults and treat them accordingly. We will not hold their hands and coddle them; rather we provide the setting for opportunities of individual discovery. A new environment can at times overwhelm even adults. We are always available to assist and guide our students so they can get the most out of their experience.
