The State Department’s official blog, DipNote, offers first-person perspectives from U.S. government employees who are working to implement the Department’s mission. The goal is to allow the public to hear from employees at all levels, from our interns all the way to our senior officials. Behind every campaign and event, there is a team of people who make it happen. By sharing their personal and behind-the-scenes experiences, our hope is that the public gains a greater insight and appreciation into our work on behalf of the American people.
