Rabun Gap faculty, student attend ASSIST celebration

Ms. Lynda Ann Loring and Navid Mesrian '21 attend ASSIST celebration in Washington, D.C.
Navid Mesrian ‘21, a one year ASSIST student from Germany, and Ms. Lynda Ann Loring, Director of International Student Programs, joined German Ambassador Christophe Heusgen in Washington, D.C. on October 12 to celebrate the 50th Anniversary Celebration of ASSIST.

ASSIST is a U.S.- based nonprofit organization that matches academically talented, multilingual international students with American independent secondary schools. During a one-year school stay, an ASSIST scholar-leader serves as a cultural ambassador actively participating in classes and extracurricular activities. Since 1969, 5,050 student scholar-leaders from 52 nations, many underrepresented in independent school populations, have been matched with ASSIST-affiliated schools. This growing, global network connects top scholars with elite American schools and with one another.

We are grateful to work with ASSIST and that they send such incredible students, like Navid, who help to broaden the diversity and rich cultural experience here at Rabun Gap.
