From the beginning of her time at U.S. Embassy Bern through its conclusion, former Ambassador Suzan G. LeVine was a passionate champion of technology, education, and connecting with people. Ambassador LeVine employed social media and blogging to engage directly with many audiences; she was a spirited advocate for the role that modern communication methods should play in today’s diplomacy. Throughout her tenure, Ambassador LeVine kept a blog called The LeVine Line where she shared her perspective on news, people she met and events she attended, and provided a glimpse into the life of an Ambassador.
Below you can find a timeline of the almost seventy posts that illustrate her time here.
