From Grassroots to Global: Inside International Exchange and Citizen Diplomacy with Damian Janda '21

Damian Janda is an alumnus of the Williams Russian Program and is currently working at American Councils in DC in the capacity of Program Officer. His current projects include the Young Transatlantic Innovation Leaders Initiative (YTILI) Fellowship Program and the Professional Fellows Program for citizens of Eastern Europe and Eurasia. We have invited Damian back to campus to give a presentation about his varied work with American Councils and engage with students who are interested in knowing more about career opportunities if they study languages and cultures, especially the Russophone world and Eurasia, global studies, or are interested in diplomacy beyond the foreign service.
