The Asian Studies Department recently heard from\u00a0Dylan Hunziker ’14<\/strong>, who has just received his first posting as a diplomat with the U.S. State Department: the U.S. embassy in Beijing, China<\/a>!\u00a0 Dylan, who traveled the Chinese-speaking world as a Watson Fellowship winner<\/a> and\u00a0completed his M.A. in Taiwan on a full scholarship<\/a> after graduating from Berea, is excited about this auspicious beginning to his diplomatic career.\u00a0 \u201cIn 2009, I got on my first plane to go to Beijing on scholarship to learn Chinese. My very first day there I lost my passport, and had to go to the U.S. Embassy to get a new one. I felt scared, stupid, and pathetic. Still, I remember as I left the embassy, I thought to myself that one day I would be back, working there,\u201d says Dylan.\u00a0 \u201cNine years later, it looks like that promise is coming true. Beijing has changed a lot over the past nine years; I have changed even more. I am excited to take on Beijing once again. Thank you to everyone who has supported me along the way.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
