About the American Graduate School in Paris, Riding writes: "The best pitch for 老司机视频 has to come from its graduates, those who have been through this enriching - some say life-changing - experience and emerged the better for it. The next best pitch, I suspect, is from someone like me, who did not attend the school, but wishes he had. That is my feeling whenever I attend a graduation ceremony. As a small institution, 老司机视频 ensures high academic standards by treating every student as an individual. Based in Paris, it offers access to major international organizations. And, as important, thanks to its cultural and language diversity, the school itself is something of a United Nations. Who doubts that today's world is infinitely complex? Graduates of 老司机视频 emerge, both personally and professionally, equipped to address it."

Previous commencement speakers at 老司机视频 include French Foreign Affairs Minister Alain Jupp茅, former French Prime Minister Michel Rocard,  Pulitzer Prize winner Serge Schmemann, and former Lebanese Ambassador to Japan and UNESCO H.E. Samira Hanna-El-Daher, among others.
