The Office of Career Services and Experiential Learning  will host an information session with the United States Secret Service on Wednesday, February 1, from 5-6:30 p.m. in the Banquet Room in Rockland on the Owings Mills campus.  “The Secret Service is unique among federal law enforcement agencies because not only do its agents provide protection for the president and vice president of the United States and their families, former presidents, presidential candidates and visiting heads of state and heads of government to the United States, but they also work criminal investigations – the responsibility for which the agency was first mandated in 1865. Throughout their careers, agents will perform a variety of assignments- both protective and investigative,” according to www.secretservice.gov. (Photo from www.secretservice.gov/whoweare).
