April 17, 2008. The Magdeburg based German-American Dialog Center presented the 2008/09 winners of a full-year high school program, which brings students from Saxony-Anhalt to the U.S. The program is supported by the U.S. Embassy Berlin and Consulate General Leipzig participated in the selection interviews, which took place earlier this year. Consul for Public Affairs Mark Wenig attended the event and assured the three students, all girls, that an exciting year awaits them, especially with regard to the presidential elections. This high school program is one of the gems brought about by Consulate Geneneral Leipzig’s and U.S. Embassy Berlin’s ongoing support for the German-American Dialog Center Magdeburg, which is headed by Bundestag member Dr. Uwe Küster.
