Guenter Bischof, Director of Center Austria, recently handed a thank you letter and gift from Chancellor Tim Ryan to Vice Chancellor Professor Roberta Maierhofer from the International Affairs Division of the University of Graz in Austria.

After Hurricane Katrina, Maierhofer extended a generous invitation to UNO to send 8 UNO students free of charge to study for a semester at the University of Graz. Doris Knasar in Maiherhofer's division generously organized the stays of these 8 students in 2007 and 2008.
