Every few months, the Academy, along with a university or other sponsor, hosts a program to bring more awareness to contemporary discussions and issues sur-rounding U.S. diplomacy. These programs often include panels consisting of Academy members and are a great learning opportunity for college students.
Representing a unique wealth of talent, the Academy is a group of former senior ambassadors and leaders in foreign policy who are dedicated to the core mission of strengthening American diplomacy.
The Academy provides a variety of resour-ces for our audience and members, including member-recommended read-ings, podcast supplemental guides, career advice for aspiring FSOs, and much more. Our resources are helpful for high school students, college students and graduates, and those interested in learning more about the Foreign Service.
