[Jyf-2003-2004] JYF Resident Director 2003-2004

[Margaret Scouten]

Dear JYF participants 2003-2004,

     As you are aware, Professor  Elyane Dezon-Jones,  JYF Resident
Director 2003-2004, has
been treating a serious illness during the month of August and
September.   She had hoped to recover once
you arrived in Paris.  However, this is not the case.  She is extremely
weak and will be unable to continue
this semester as Resident Director.
    I know that she and Mme Lucy Hervier have  advised many of you
concerning your individual  courses and academic problems.
I am sure that there will still be changes.  Please don't worry. This is
the system in France.   Our staff will make every
effort to help you.

       As of Tuesday, October 13, Mme Dezon-Jones will not be in the JYF
office.  Mme Hervier will be substituting for her
this week  to continue to advise you and answer questions and/or
concerns.

    However, SBCJYF  is very happy  to announce that Dr. Emile LANGLOIS,
former Director of the JYF program for the past
16 years in Virginia , will  replace Mme Dezon-Jones this semester  as
Resident Director  on Monday, October 20, 2003.  In addition to being
the JYF  VA Director, he also served as Resident Director in 1975-76;
1982-83; 2000-2001.  He has very graciously accepted to help us out in
this serious situation.  SBCJYF  is very grateful and fortunate to have
this experienced professional working with you.

    Please be patient.  This year (or semester) will be one of the most
unforgettable and challenging experiences of your lifetime.

Bonne continuation!!
