Timothy Brooks (2001-02)
Tim is a Director of Client Management at Investors Bank
& Trust in Boston. Both before and after his participation in
the German Chancellor Fellowship Program, he was a state finance
official in Indiana and Massachusetts. As a German Chancellor Fellow,
Tim spent the year at the University of Hamburg. His project evolved
from a comparative financial analysis of the roles of various levels
of government and NGOs in the delivery of government services into
a study of German school decentralization efforts and finally in
a position paper on the suitability of charter schools for Germany.
Tim is a second-generation Humboldtian, having lived in Hamburg
during his father's Humboldt
Research Fellowship in 1974-75. His two daughters might become
the third generation, having attended German schools and continuing
their German at language camp every summer. timothyabrooks@aol.com

Susan Duggan (1990-91)
Susan writes: "We just celebrated 10 years of the Silicon Valley World Internet Center as a dynamic think tank and showcase for Internet-related technologies. My work as a founder and CEO has us nicely nestled between our founding client, Deutsche Telekom, and our best long-term client, SAP. This past year I was in Walldorf conducting a 2-day think tank session for SAP. June 2005 I was in Munich doing the same for the top executives and engineers of Siemens and SAP. So, the German connection is alive and well. This past year I assumed an additional role as the Senior Strategic Planner for the U.S. Government's National Flagship Language Program, an initiative of the National Security Education Program. Essentially, I'm the person to figure out the future of the program in terms of its growth and sustainability through connections with the corporate sector, foundations, foreign governments and beyond. It pulls me back fully into the international education arena, where my career has been for 30 years." duggan@worldinternetcenter.com (12/19/06)
