The đȘđșđșđž relationship would not be as strong as it is today without partners like @UNCEurope. For 30 years, this center for EU studies has helped a generation of Americans understand the EU and its importance for the U.S. and transatlantic affairs. Here's to many more decades!

Saw the Barbie movie this weekend. Twice! Because I loved it so much. I took my 9-year-old the second time. The only question he had was âWhatâs fascism?â So I said we should probably watch The Hunger Games, because I am finding it hard to put that in kid terms.
