The U.S. Embassy in Warsaw has been developing the Alumni Association in Poland in order to bring former visitors of U.S. Government-funded programs together. Our goals are to help the Association to develop strength in numbers, network with other alumni of USG exchange programs, perform community service projects, support the next generation, and reach out to recruit new exchange participants.

    Ambassador Mull's Letter to Alumni

    Dear Alumni, 

    The warm friendship between the United States and Poland today rests on the strong ties that have existed between the people of our two countries for hundreds of years.  Poles were in the U.S. from the launch of the colony in Jamestown, Virginia; at our sides fighting for our independence in the American Revolution; and shoulder-to-shoulder with us in every major conflict in our history since then.  Poles helped build the America we know and love today, not only on our farms and in our factories and mines, but in our universities, laboratories and important cultural institutions.
