The US Assistant Secretary of State for Educational and Cultural Affairs Marie Royce is here this week. During her visit, she is scheduled to meet with several government officers and graduates of US educational programs. She is here to participate in the launching of the US Embassy-backed Academy for Women Entrepreneurs (AWE), a new US Department of State initiative to support women entrepreneurs globally.
Through the academy, 36 participants from Santo Domingo aged 18-35 will receive personalized business mentorship, as well as professional knowledge, tools and networks, in order to turn their ideas into successful businesses.
During her visit, accompanied by US Ambassador Robin Bernstein, she toured the Santo Domingo cathedral accompanied by Santo Domingo Archbishop Francisco Ozoria for a tour of the Santo Domingo Cathedral. The US Embassy reported that Royce was able to observe the conservation works that had been completed thanks to the US State Department’s Ambassadors Fund for Cultural Preservation.
Royce in her capacity oversees a wide range of educational, professional, cultural and exports exchanges on behalf of the US government.
