Conference speakers include former ambassador

An attorney who specializes in international affairs and a former U.S. ambassador will be among the speakers during the International Career Conference from 1 to 8 p.m. today in the Student Center.

The conference, which is being hosted by International Student Services and education abroad coordinator Tracy Williams, is designed to help students get an idea of how to go about pursuing an international career, Williams said.

“There are lots of things students can do throughout their college career to prepare for an international one,” Williams said. “You don’t have to start just in your senior year. The more you do starting you freshman year, the better prepared you’ll be in the end.”

An informational fair prior to conference events will be from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. in the Student Center Lounge. Attorney Stewart Rabbinowitz will cover different aspects for international students wanting to work in the United States.

To conclude the conference, former U.S. Ambassador Oliver Pastrano Garza, who is currently serving as diplomat in residence and visiting scholar at the Lyndon B. Johnson School of Public Affairs at the University of Texas at Austin, will deliver the keynote address to conference participants.
