Youth Ambassador Wins Laptop in State Alumni Draw

State Alumni Romina Castellini (Youth Ambassador 08) receives a laptop computer from John Dickson, the director of the Office of Public Diplomacy Bureau of Western Hemisphere Affairs for the U.S. Dept. of State, left, and Embassy Public Affairs Officer Robert Zimmerman, December 17, 2008.
Romina is one of more than 100 Uruguayan alumni that joined the State Alumni network during International Education Week celebrated in mid-November, following Ambassador Baxter's appeal announcing that those who registered would be entered into a raffle to win a laptop.
The embassy also raffled off five State Alumni flash drives to lucky registered alumni. State Alumni (https://alumni.state.gov/) is an online interactive network for all past and current participants of U.S. government-sponsored exchange programs.
