“Dream. Take opportunities. Be happy in the things you doâ€. Fernando Grillo.
Le nouvel ambassadeur du Royaume des Pays-Bas est Fernando Grillo. Il a étudié à l'école de Rochester et a obtenu son diplôme en 1984, la première classe à être diplômée de notre école !
One of his goals as an ambassador is to strengthen the relationship between universities in Colombia and universities in the Netherlands. He wants to allow more Colombian students the opportunity to have a high-quality education in the Netherlands. When we asked Fernando what his challenges were, he answered the following: “The biggest challenge I had in my path to become ambassador was to negotiate with all the workers’ unions of the state. I did it when I was working as director of the Civil Service. This was a great challenge because it meant representing the state in a negotiation that affects one million two hundred thousand people. That is the number of public employees in Colombia”.
Lorsque nous avons demandé à Fernando ce qu'il retenait de notre école, il a utilisé ces trois mots : Créativité, Engagement et Héritage. C'est ainsi qu'il se souvient de notre école : une famille qui se consacre à l'éducation.
Thank you, Fernando! We are incredibly proud of all the achievements our alumni accomplish every day. Thank you so much for continuing Rochester School’s legacy, your legacy.
