A Good-Looking Bloke

Let me explain something about how we roll at this Seminar Abroad program.  Wherever we go at these Olympics, three things that have always been with us are (1) the WNE flag or CISB banner, (2) Golden Bear, and (3) our fearless leader, Dr. Anthony Caprio.  Thanks to Nick Varney, Maria Francese, and Dennis Rinaldi, the symbols of Western New England University have been present throughout London.  In Dr. Caprio's case, he has been to every Olympic event right alongside the students, and has even been on TV during the USA-Korea women's volleyball match!  His most impressive feat, however, was on Sunday night after the UK-UAE football match at Wembley Stadium when he safely led us through a scrum of 100,000 people packed like sardines across the plaza to the train station!  There was quite the buzz with everyone wondering -- and a few people asking -- "Who is that chap?"  We heard people saying things like "He looks so familiar" and "Isn't that the Prime Minister."  When Dr. Walker explained to a man next to her that we were students and faculty from a university in the States, and that he was our President, the man responded, "Well, he's a good-looking bloke."
