Where would we be today without the very first IES Abroad lovebirds, co-founders Clarence and Alberta Giese? They were newlyweds in 1950, part of a group of 23 students to travel to Vienna, Austria for the first IES Abroad program (formerly the Institute of European Studies). It was their shared love for study abroad that began it all!
