  • Utilizing social media tools, such as Facebook and Twitter to promote U.S. foreign policy
  • Arranging video conferences with Department officials
  • Conducting workshops and round tables on U.S. foreign policy priorities and career development
  • Serving as a campus liaison for visits by Department officials
  • Partnering with university faculty and Diplomats-in-Residence to inform students about U.S. foreign policy priorities and the role of the Department
  • Organizing events centered around commemorative days in U.S. Foreign Policy, e.g. UN Day, World AIDS Day
  • Disseminating information on U.S. foreign policy to their campus community
  • Facilitating campus participation in Department programs when available
