The Institute receives for the first time the University of Pennsylvania Summer Program. We are visited for six weeks by 45 students accompanied by five professors. It is a very international group with students from Romania, South Korea, China, Morocco, Russia, France or Jordan. Naturally also from the United States: Chicago, Philadelphia, Connecticut, Hawaii, Colorado, New York, Detroit, Los Angles, Ohio and Maryland.

Angela, a Huntsman Program student at Penn from Shanghai, studies Spanish because "it's a serious language with deep cultural connections and many uses in the business and social world." Zain from Jordan is "very attracted to Spanish and Latin American culture and wants to learn more about both." Lauren is from Colorado and is studying environmental science. “I want to study Spanish at university too because I think it is a very important language in the world and in the United States. In Colorado Spanish is very common because there are many people from Mexico or of Mexican origin. I am in Madrid to explore Europe and Spain and to experience a different culture”.
