«I am certain that the College community on our three campuses will continue the path of innovation and excellence that we have charted together over these last five wonderful years. I am proud of what we have achieved together and I am deeply grateful for the trust, esteem and support that the students, faculty, staff and alumni of the College and the Academy have shown me and continue to show me. It was an honor and a pleasure for me to serve the College community and its mission, together with all of you”, wrote Mogherini in the email, also published a few minutes later on the College of Europe website.
