With great pride, AATG announces the awarding of the the Austrian Cross of Honor for Science and the Arts, one of Austria's highest honors, to our Executive Director, Helene Zimmer-Loew.

As anyone who has ever had the privilege of working with her knows, Helene is truly a tireless advocate for the German language and culture, for teachers of German, and for study abroad. We are extremely pleased that she has been recognized and honored by the Austrian government for her efforts - it is indeed well-deserved!

Helene received the Austrian Cross of Honor for Science and the Arts on January 20, 2010 - given by Austrian Cultural Forum New York Director Andreas Stadler and Deputy Director Martin Rauchbauer.
