Students interested in careers within the United States Secret Service are invited to attend a free information session sponsored by Career Services.
A Secret Service representative will explain what the organization has to offer employees 12:15 p.m. today in Kirby Hall of Civil Rights room 104.
The Secret Service is mandated by Congress to carry out specific protection and investigation responsibilities involving the President, Vice President, and their families, as well as heads of state and other designated individuals. It protects the White House, Vice President’s residence, Foreign Missions, and other buildings within Washington, D.C., and engages in security design, planning, and implementation at designated events.
The Secret Service is also responsible for enforcement of counterfeiting laws and investigation of various financial crimes, including access device fraud, financial institution fraud, identity theft, computer fraud, telecommunications fraud, and computer-based attacks on the nation’s financial, banking, and telecommunications infrastructure.
Last Friday, two graduates of the FlightSafety International program talked about career possibilities for prospective pilots in Gagnon Lecture Hall (room 100), Hugel Science Center.
Founded in 1951, FlightSafety International is the world’s largest provider of aviation services, training over 62,000 pilots at 42 Learning Centers in the United States, Canada, France, and the United Kingdom. It uses over 200 advanced simulators and 1,200 professional instructors.
