The Public Liaison Division of the Department of State’s Bureau of Global Public Affairs (GPA/SOE/PL) is organizing the second annual, hybrid Minority-Serving Institutions (MSI) Conference to raise awareness about the Secretary of State’s foreign policy priorities and the reasons why diplomacy is important to every American. The conference also aims to advance the department’s diversity, equity, inclusion and accessibility (DEIA) efforts.
This conference will build on the success of the inaugural MSI conference in 2023, the previous 13 conferences for Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs), and three symposia for students of Hispanic-Serving Institutions (HSIs) hosted by GPA/SOE/PL. This conference is also for undergraduate and graduate students attending Asian American Native American Pacific Islander–Serving Institutions (ANNAPISIs), Alaska Native and Native Hawaiian–Serving Institutions (ANNHs), Tribal Colleges and Universities (TCUs), and Predominantly Black Institutions (PBIs).
On the Agenda:
Career Fair: Undergraduate and graduate students from across the country are invited to attend the career fair after the conference to network with Department of State bureau representatives and stakeholders to discover more about career opportunities and programs available to students.
Panels: The main conference event includes three panels with diverse and dynamic Civil Service and Foreign Service officials who will share their career experiences, describe their diplomatic work, and highlight various options for enrolled MSI students to participate in internships, international exchange programs, and more. Virtual attendees will be able to view a livestream of events on an interactive website.
Date/Time: April 12, 12:00 - 6:00 PM
Location: Virtual and In-Person at Harry S. Truman Building, 2201 C. St. N.W., Washington, D.C. 20520
