Everyone needs to eat breakfast, right? Well a lucky 20 students (who sign up on the BRIDGE by 4/25) will be able to share their morning cup o’joe with Clare Ribando Seelke, Specialist in Latin American Affairs for the Congressional Research Service (CRS) on April 26 at 9:30.
Ms. Seelke will offer advice about working in the federal government over a scrumptious breakfast, which is the most important meal of the day! Ms. Seelke provides policy analysis to House and Senate members and the congressional committees. She also drafts confidential memos for members who meet with foreign leaders, and writes reports to assist Congress in its oversight, funding, and legislative decisions…all this knowledge before lunch?! Wow!
