December 8, 2006. Participating in the U.S. Consulate General's School Outreach Program, grade 10c of the Hans-Seidel-Gymnasium in Hösbach near Aschaffenburg visited the Consulate for a two-fold briefing on December 8. Dr. Renate Vollmer of the Public Affairs Section's Information Resource Center gave a concise overview of the large spectrum of programs offering extended stays in the Unites States for young people. Himself a first-generation immigrant from Panama with parents of mixed ethnic backgrounds, Vice-Consul Scott Hartmann then took the 28 students and their teacher Christian Davis on a tour through the history of American immigration ending with the cartoon "The Simpsons" as a useful starting point for discussing current issues such as ethnicity, religion, and social relations in U.S. society.
