Following the ceremony on Wednesday, December 12, Mr. Nobel, his wife Margaretha and daughter Nina were invited to a private lunch with Jimmy Carter and Rosalyn Carter hosted by the U.S. Ambassador to Norway.

Exciting Summer Opportunities We are exploring a few ideas for the summer and want your feedback. Our goal is to help connect members with programs that will be educational, international, FUN, and culturally enriching. We are open to your suggestions as well. Please take the survey below to give us your opinion. We are looking at the following options: 1. Educational and cultural trip to Sweden to learn about the history and events surrounding the Nobel Prizes. 2. Educational and cultural trip to Sydney, Australia, in partnership with a major university. 3. Partnering with Projects Abroad to allow members to spend up to two months in countries like China, Ghana, India, Mexico, Mongolia, Nepal, Russia, and Sri Lanka. Students can provide assistance in hospitals, schools, orphanages, media, and local businesses through a host family and pre-university program. Take Survey Now Chance to win a free trip to the UK The British Council USA is offering a free trip to the UK as a first place prize in a competition for students age 16-30 years old.
