Description:

As part of the Clements Center’s mission to prepare students for careers in public service, we are pleased to host a Professional Development Workshop on Networking in Washington D.C. featuring former Clements Center students, Kelsey Ritchie and Maria Pereyra-Vera.  At the workshop, our panelists will talk to students about how to network, the etiquette of networking, and their own personal experiences networking in D.C. This workshop is designed for all students interested in careers in public service in the federal government, intelligence community, military, and large-scale international organizations. Maria is currently Special Assistant in the Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy (EERE) at the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE). Kelsey currently works for Deloitte’s defense and national security consulting practice.

The Bush School of Government & Public Service at Texas A&M University seeks undergraduate students interested in restoring trust in public service and leading the way. We host an annual Public Service Weekend that will be ONLINE this year for those who have self-identified as future public servants interested in nonprofits, government agencies (local, state and federal), national security organizations, government contracting, think tanks, international NGOs, and more.  

For a few hours late afternoon/early evening on Friday, Nov 6 (2:30-6:40 PM) and the morning of Saturday, Nov 7 (10:00 AM-12:40 PM), attendees will hear about public service careers and what benefits they offer, participate in a career workshop, attend breakout sessions over various career sectors, join a faculty-led exercise, have Q&A opportunities with both an alumni panel and current students panel, learn the graduate admissions timeline and how to be competitive, and discover how grad school funding works. Network and fuel your passion for service while learning the next steps to take from professionals who live it!
