Universitäten halten oft engen Kontakt zu ihren ehemaligen Studenten, den Alumni. Als Absolvent der School of Foreign Service an der Georgetown University bin ich dem ehemaligen Prinzen und heutigen König Felipe VI. von Spanien, Felipe Juan Pablo Alfonso de Todos los Santos de Borbón y Grecia zwar nicht persönlich begegnet, aber immerhin …. Den Abschluss als Master of Science in Foreign Service habe ich dort 1990 erworben, Felipe “folgte” 1995. In diesem Sinne: Os saludo, Felipe!

Prince Felipe Juan Pablo Alfonso de Todos los Santos de Borbón y Grecia graduated with a master’s in international relations from the university’s School of Foreign Service in 1995. “I think one of the most important qualities of a leader is that she or he listens,” says Eusebio Mujal-Leon, associate professor of government in Georgetown College and author of several books on Spanish and Cuban politics. “In all of my dealings with the future king of Spain, I found him to be a careful listener, someone who was obviously very smart but who also asked very good questions. …He will do a great job as king of Spain.”
