Danielle Harms, Diplomat-in-Residence at CUNY, will give a virtual presentation on Career Opportunities and Student Programs in the Department of State to the College of Staten Island on Tuesday, Nov. 16 at 2:30pm via Zoom to cap off CSI’s celebration of International Education Week, November 15-19, 2021.
All are welcome. This is a CC CLUE event.
Harms will discuss the various branches of career foreign service (there are five career tracks, in total: Management, Consular, Public Diplomacy, Economics, and Political.)
She will also invite students to apply for a career in Foreign Service, including paid and unpaid internship programs; explaining how to register for the requisite exam; and providing information on the Recent Graduates and Presidential Management Fellows programs.
