The FBI Atlanta Field Office will soon hold its first ever Collegiate Academy in collaboration with Georgia Southern.
The collegiate academy provides a series of seminars to college students to spread awareness of the Bureau's mission, goals, history, and internal workings while offering young adults the unique opportunity to ask questions and have discussions directly with FBI personnel.
This program will introduce students to various areas of expertise that the FBI and its agents have, including cyber-security, missing persons, violent and organized crime, and homeland security. Special agents will also work with students to develop an application package for the FBI. Space in this program is limited and an application is necessary to participate.
The dates for the collegiate academy take place on Wednesdays in September at Georgia Southern in the Carroll Building Classroom 2226. Each class runs from 6p-8:30pm on each date.
