The University of New Orleans International Summer School in Innsbruck, Austria celebrated 40 years in the Alpine city during its grand opening on June 28, 2015. The U.S. Ambassador to Austria, Alexa Wesner, joined dignitaries from Innsbruck and New Orleans in celebrating this significant anniversary which over decades has blossomed into a full-fledged, model transatlantic partnership between the University of New Orleans and the University of Innsbruck. In addition, the two cities today also enjoy an official sister city agreement.
The University of New Orleans International Summer School in Innsbruck is the largest program of its kind in the United States and over the years has brought over 10,000 students and faculty to the heart of the Alps.
