During the Vermont Council on World Affairs Annual Meeting, the 2022 802 Diplomats were honored. An 802 Diplomat is anyone who is in or has visited Vermont and engages in citizen diplomacy.
802 Diplomats engage with ideas and citizens of other countries and cultures to help enhance global thinking and awareness. This year they honored Community Development and Applied Economics Adjunct Lecturer Patrick Brown.
Brown is considered to be an exemplary 802 Diplomat through his work on critical race and civil rights issues throughout Vermont, and his representation of Vermont in the world and the world in Vermont.
