Welcome St. Ursule to UA!

Today was a short day at Ursuline as we are preparing for our annual Intramurals competition. It was also the first day that our Paris sister-school visited our campus so we had a little welcome reception in their honor. The students enjoyed receiving Ursuline gifts and eating traditional American holiday cookies (gingerbread men). We are so happy that you are here!

Welcome St. Ursule from Paris!

This evening we welcomed a delegation of 12 students and 2 teachers from our sister school, St. Ursule, in Paris. The group arrived at Love Field (a first!) and immediately set off with host families for Friday night fun such as football games, dinners and more! We are delighted to welcome St. Ursule to Dallas and we look forward to getting to know each guest over the next two weeks! Bienvenue!

Farewell to our Wimbledon sisters! (Please don't go!)

Oh how we hate to see our dear friends go home! We had a wonderful exchange with our UK sisters and now all are safely back home in London. We wanted to be sure to give the delegation a "proper" send-off so we gave a "High Tea" in honor of our UK faculty colleagues on Friday afternoon. It was a lovely chance to relive some fun moments from our time together and also to say goodbye after a wonderful visit.

Of course, the tears flowed at the airport as the students bid farewell to their Texas host families. Our time together was short but fantastic! We can't wait to see you again in England in 2018!

Big Fun all around Big D

Fall is an ideal time to visit Dallas and our delegation from the UK has definitely made the most of their time here with us. Below are a few festive highlights from this past week. How much fun we are having together!
