29 May 2015, Galerie Claudiana, Innsbruck
Leaving Vienna and the U.S. embassy for a brief visit to western Austria, Mr. Robert Greenan made his first official visit to Innsbruck since assuming the position of the Embassy’s Chief Public Affairs Officer. Following a morning of discussion at the ACI and a casual lunch with the ACI student workers and interns, Mr. Greenan made himself available for an informal meet-and-greet in the Galerie Claudiana outside the ACI office. 25 students and faculty, members of the Austro-American Society/Tirol and a couple of USTA’s came to meet Mr. Greenan, who took care to speak with each person individually after he had made some brief general remarks. Ideas for cooperative projects were discussed with the Chairman of the Department of American Studies and others, with a high level of interest in follow-though expressed all around. It was an all-too-brief, but productive visit, and the ACI looks forward to hosting Mr. Greenan again soon.
