There is nothing quite like the Transatlantic series as Paul Wilcox explained. The teams on various sides of the Atlantic traveled before there were even flights between the two continents.

I believe the magic of this exchange is not in the actual events, but in the history that is made between the various institutions. The universities chosen are interesting as they represent the top institutions found in both the US and the UK and gives me the impression that the Transatlantic series is very elitist. That caught me off guard during the talk, although Cornell is an Ivy League school, elitism doesn’t usually come to mind.

It was incredible to see Mr. Wilcox and Dr. Hill talk about the transatlantic series. I could tell that both men are very passionate about it and have put a lot of work into making the series successful. Overall, I think that this is good for the institutions involved and helps bridge barriers between institutions across the Atlantic. I hope the schools will find other areas to also collaborate on in the future.
