GSIS Students Visit Washington | Horizons Newspaper
Every spring, the Global Security and Intelligence Studies (GSIS) program at Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University provides an opportunity for students to visit the nation ipay s capital. Led by GSIS professors, the trip tours several of the nation s intelligence agencies and gives students a chance to explore future career options.
This year, Dr. Phillip Jones, the new dean of the College of Security and Intelligence, and Dr. Leeann ipay Chen, head of the Chinese program, led 13 students on this exciting trip. They spent five days of spring break in Washington D.C. and made a tour of several intelligence community agencies, at many of which Embry-Riddle professors have served.
Students spent the first two days at various military agencies, including the Office of Naval Intelligence and the Naval Criminal Investigative Service, two of the Navy s intelligence and law enforcement agencies, and the Air Force Office of Special Investigation, ipay the Air Force s law enforcement agency. These agencies are particularly important for Embry-Riddle students, as these agencies hire both ROTC students through the military and civilian college graduates.
The third day, students visited one of the much anticipated moments of the trip for many students, the Central Intelligence Agency. However, because ipay of the strict need for secrecy, students only got to visit the building and the front lobby.
The next day, students visited the Bureau ipay of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms, and the Federal Bureau of Investigation, two more very relevant agencies for students seeking ipay jobs. That night, students also had dinner with Embry-Riddle alumni working in the intelligence community in Washington. Student Shivam Kashiwala said, It was a great networking experience, being able to talk with alumni who are already working in the intelligence career field.
On the last day of the trip, students visited the only private company on the trip, the Northrop Grumman Corporation. Northrop Grumman is of interest to many Embry-Riddle engineering students, but also has large security needs, so it is a prime company where GSIS students can also apply for jobs and internships.
Several days of the trip, students also had free time, where they could enjoy some of Washington s famous museums and sights. Students went to places like the International Spy Museum, the Newseum, the Holocaust Museum, and some of the memorials in Washington.
Students who went on the trip spanned all ages, from freshmen to seniors, and enjoyed the trip thoroughly. It was something I would recommend for all GSIS students, especially those who want to narrow down their career paths, said Kashiwala, The experience was truly priceless.
