Day 1: the program began with a reception at Amerika Haus; it was wonderful to see everyone—Meike Zwingenberger, Klaus Benesch, Heike Paul, Jasmina Brkovic, and two dozen German, Polish, and American doctoral students, some new to the program and many returned from the first two years. I had just arrived from Prague, but many who had gotten in earlier had already been on an extensive bike tour of the English Gardens.
