Did you know about the Diplomacy Lab for students and faculty? Since 2013, the U.S. Department of State has welcomed students of different majors to put their academic expertise into practice by conducting research and finding solutions to current foreign policy challenges at the Department. From energy and immigration policy to cybersecurity and counterterrorism, Diplomacy Lab participants have contributed to foreign policy work: doscareers.com/ISNDiplomacyL…
Another project well done by our #DiplomacyLab students! 👏
