SUMMARY:Career Conversations – Career Trajectories and Types in Foreign Affairs | Foreign Policy in Practice Series
DESCRIPTION:The Chicago Council on Global Affairs (@ChiCouncilFP) and Associated Colleges of the Midwest (@ACMedu) have joined together for a yearlong series on Foreign Policy in Practice. \nHave you wondered what a career in foreign affairs might encompass and how you might take your important first step in that direction? Join students from across the ACM in a conversation about different career types and paths in this field and hear from a panel of professionals whose experiences span the government and private sector and diverse perspectives from journalism\, advocacy\, diplomacy\, tech\, and security. Our panelists will discuss their career paths and how these different foreign affairs tracks interact\, followed by time for students to ask questions of the panelists\, discuss potential career paths\, and network with their ACM peers. \nCLICK TO REGISTER \nForeign Affairs Career Panelists\n\nNahal Toosi\, Senior Foreign Affairs Correspondent\, POLITICO\nDarya Pilram\, Strategy and Policy Lead on Artificial Intelligence\, Carnegie Mellon University; previously led Twitter’s Harmful Group Activity research\nJeffrey Smith\, Founder and Executive Director\, Vanguard Africa\nMaureen Farrell\, Director for Horn of Africa\, National Security Council\nElizabeth Shackelford\, Senior Fellow\, US Foreign Policy at the Chicago Council on Global Affairs and former U.S. foreign service officer with the U.S. State Department\n\n\nAbout the Panelists\n \nNahal Toosi \nNahal is POLITICO’s senior correspondent for foreign affairs and national security.
