Speed Networking with the Bureau of International Narcotics and Law Enforcement Affairs

Interested in the U.S. State Department’s Bureau of International Narcotics and Law Enforcement Affairs?

When Thursday, join our Speed Mentoring event on

Thursday, November 9, 2:00pm to 3:30pm.

Interested in learning more about careers at the State Department, and specifically, the State Department’s Bureau of International Narcotics and Law Enforcement Affairs (INL)?

Come network with representatives from INL — and learn about their exciting careers keeping Americans safe at home by countering international crime, illegal drugs, and instability abroad.

INL helps countries deliver justice and fairness by strengthening their police, courts, and corrections systems. These efforts reduce the amount of crime and illegal drugs reaching U.S. shores.

We are inviting DC-area undergraduate and graduate students to come learn more about the Department of State, careers in the Foreign and Civil Service, and to meet professionals making a real difference each and every day.

This event will be held on Thursday, November 9, from 2:00pm to 3:30pm in Washington DC. Students will have the opportunity to engage in a “speed mentoring” session – rotating between tables with INL experts grouped by questions of interest or areas of expertise. You don’t want to miss this networking opportunity!
