Hume Seminar Series: Day in the Life - Analysts at Deloitte

About the Event

Three Deloitte professionals will present opportunities to students of all experience levels passionate about national security as it pertains to direct mission support of investigations and intelligence, as well as all facets of cybersecurity. Students will have the opportunity to ask questions to a range of speakers, from second year analysts to tenured managers. The goal of this event is to broaden students’ awareness of the vast range of private sector work that supports mission-critical national security efforts and what being an “Analyst” really means.
