Trip to Bern on Thursday July 24, 2008

Dear ThinkSwiss Participants,

My name is Muriel and I am the new intern in the Office of Science, Technology and Higher Education at the Embassy of Switzerland in Washington, D.C. I will take over Andrea’s job for the next few months and I look forward reading your impressions. I have been studying International Relations in Geneva, in Germany and in Belgium. If you have any question about Geneva, I would be happy to give you some information.

Your experience seems amazing and you all have fun beside your work. Continue to take all opportunities you have to visit Switzerland and its neighbour countries. It is very useful to share your experiences as it can give inspiration to the other participants.
