Economic/Commercial Officer Scott Woodard visited Year 6-7 students at the British School of Bern on June 10.  The students, currently studying government and politics with Mrs. Blake, had the opportunity to ask a variety of questions about Scott’s job as a U.S. diplomat.

They were keenly interested about how one becomes a diplomat, the daily routines of diplomats, and their functions within embassies.  They also asked excellent questions about places where the United States does not have an embassy and about what kinds of preparation one needs to become a diplomat.
