A day in the life of a diplomat Lecture and workshop with distinguished alumna Helen Hwang

The University of St Andrews Business School and the Careers Service invite students from the Business School and the School of International Relations to an afternoon lecture and workshop with one of our most distinguished alumna, Helen Hwang.

Helen's story about her transformative time at St Andrews can be read on the alumni blog. A frequent visitor to St Andrews, she is returning this month and, as part of her visit, will be working with students who are interested in a diplomatic career.

During this session, Helen will deliver a lecture about her diplomatic career and then work with students on some of the challenging scenarios which arise during the course of diplomatic service.
