It took place at Novotel Siam Square on 27th of
September 2008, in Bangkok, Thailand, and was
organized by SIU London
staff members
Aree Eamjitmetta and Sally
Bennett. Thanks for organizing this great
event!
The reunion was a real success: Even
though it was the first alumni meeting in
Thailand, 72 former students turned up!
Dr. Geoffrey Bannister, the new President of Schiller International University, also joined the event. One alumnus, whose parents own a leading newspaper in Thailand, kindly placed a free advert to inform alumni, students, and agents. About 30 agents took advantage of the opportunity to meet so many SIU graduates, and were motivated to recruit more students into the Schiller family. Dr. Bannister introduced Schiller in a television interview. He also visited universities, such as Stamford International University, and Dhurakit Pundit University for study abroad partnerships. |

The following article was written by Thomas
Leibrecht, SIU Heidelberg Campus Director,
who knew Jerry at the Kleiningersheim Campus,
in 1964, Schiller's founding year.
They recently met at a concert:
"Occasion of the meeting on October 29, in
Southern Germany, was a performance of
Jerry's band The Gathering
Jerry lives mostly in Britain these days, and he is looking for the whereabouts of some of his old friends from Schiller Kleiningersheim days. Jerry Donahue is of a folk rock legend known as "the string bending king of the planet". In the early days he worked with Fairport Convention, and during his long career has played alongside George Harrison, Cliff Richard, and Gerry Rafferty! The Gathering is made up of a who's who of the genre including Rick Kemp, Clive Bunker, Ray Jackson, Doug Morter, and Jerry's daughter Kristina Donahue. They are key players from bands like Jethro Tull, Fairport Convention, Steeleye Span, Lindisfarne, Magna Carta, The Albion Band, and Pentangle." |
