On Sunday, August 10, students from Western New England College traveling to Beijing through the Seminar Abroad '08 program will have a hands-on opportunity to "work" a major social event at the Olympic Games, where they will serve as official greeters, photographers, and possibly even interviewers of VIPs at the awards ceremony and reception of the Truce Foundation of the USA (where the principal honoree will be Juan Antonio Samaranch, former president of the International Olympic Committee). The students were invited by Foundation President Hugh Dugan -- senior counselor to the US Representative to the UN -- to ensure that the guests, including high-ranking government officials and Olympic dignitaries, feel welcome and experience an enjoyable evening. This special opportunity will provide students not only with access to this restricted, invitation-only function, but also with the experience of actually being part of event execution at the Olympics.
