CCU intelligence and national security studies students visit Washington

Ten intelligence and national security studies students visited Washington, D.C., June 3-23 as part of the National Intelligence Studies (NIS) Study Away program.
“With a program like intelligence and national security studies, the majority of jobs at the federal level are going to be located in the D.C. area. The purpose was to expose [the students] to the intelligence community and agencies that are there,” said Rick Kilroy, assistant professor of politics, who led the NIS Study Away program.

In previous years, intelligence majors went to Washington, D.C., for spring break programs, but this new Summer I course included classroom instruction and visits to several government agencies.

“My favorite aspect of this trip was living on Capitol Hill,” said Clara Comiskey, an intelligence and security studies major from Atlanta, Ga. “Our apartment was right in the middle of everything and truly gave us a feel of what our lives outside of work would look like.”
