Hello, 

I recently replaced Ambassador Marc Wall as Diplomat in Residence (DIR).  I
understand that he had worked with you during his tenure at City College.   
 
This summer my family and I returned from a 12 year cycle overseas - serving
in Riyadh, Hanoi, Muscat, and Paris, most recently.  Essentially, it was my
third cycle overseas.  I served previously in Baghdad, Guangzhou, and
Jakarta, as well as in positions in the Department of State in Washington in
the Near East (Saudi Arabia/Yemen Country Officer), Economic and Business
(Financial Analyst), and Consular Bureaus.   
 
In my new assignment in New York I would like to meet motivated and talented
diverse U.S. students to highlight opportunities in international affairs,
particularly the State Department.  In fact, the Department seeks the best
of diverse America in every sense of the word - including those from
different genders, social, ethnic, regional, and academic backgrounds.  Your
students studying business, management, economics, law, sociology, foreign
languages, and information technology - to name only a few subjects! - can
find places in today's State Department, along with, of course, those
studying in fields more traditionally considered gateways to the Foreign
Service.  (In my most recent position as Counselor for Environment, Science,
Technology, Health and Nonproliferation Affairs in Paris, I relied on my
early undergrad training in physics and chemistry.) 
 
I would be delighted to discuss State Department careers and student
programs with interested CUNY  students.  Please contact me to set up a
mutually convenient time to visit for an information session about Foreign
Service careers and internship programs.  By the way, an early priority
would be to focus interested students on the November 1 deadline for filing
the application for Summer 2009 internships in Washington and at our
embassies and consulates abroad.  (In fact, it's recommended that filing
take place NLT October 31, to make sure everything works!)  A new internship
brochure can be found at:

information can be found at:

application process hasn't opened yet for the Summer 2009 internships,
students interested should be encouraged to sign up for the email updates so
they can receive an automatic notification when it does open.)   
 
I very much look forward to hearing from you soon. 
 
Best regards, robert dry
