STUDENTS from a North-East college have received a special visit from a US embassy diplomat.

Kim Dubois, who works for the US embassy in London, has paid a visit to Queen Elizabeth Sixth Form College in Darlington to engage with A Level students about American politics.

Tony Dabb, course Leader for A Level Politics at the college, said: ‘We’d like to thank Kim for visiting the college and sharing her experiences of working as a diplomat with our students.

"The session was highly informative and the students obtained valuable information which will no doubt aid them in their second year."
