SUMMARY:Info Briefing on Foreign Service Officer Career and the Pickering Foreign Affairs Fellowship Prgms
DESCRIPTION:
 On the advice of the U.S. Department of State's 
 Diplomat-in-Residence at the University of 
 Michigan, Ann Arbor, Mr. James Ellickson-Brown, 
 and MSU Senior Associate Provost Dr. June 
 Pierce Youatt, Ambassador Gadsden is requesting 
 your assistance in encouraging outstanding 
 minority and financially disadvantaged juniors 
 and seniors who are interested in foreign 
 affairs to apply for the Thomas R. Pickering 
 Foreign Affairs or Graduate Foreign Affairs Fellowships 
 leading to careers as U.S. Foreign 
 Service Officers. A retired career Foreign Service 
 Officer now with the Woodrow Wilson National 
 Fellowship Foundation, which administers 
 the Pickering Fellowship programs, Ambassador 
 Gadsden is tasked to seek applicants who 
 are U.S. citizens; who have financial need; who 
 are outstanding students representing the 
 ethnic, social, and geographic diversity of our 
 population; who have majors in international 
 relations, economics, business, and political 
 science; and who are interested in becoming 
 career U.S. Foreign Service officers. The 
 State Department is especially interested in 
 students majoring in critical languages and area 
 studies (Chinese; Arabic; Hindi-Urdu; East, 
 North, South, and Southeast Asian Studies; 
 and Middle East Studies) that mesh with the 
 Department's current and anticipated skills needs.
