“The Secret Service is excited to partner with Iona University as we work to recruit the next generation of Secret Service agents, officers and professionals,” said Patrick J. Freaney, Special Agent in Charge of the Secret Service’s New York Field Office. “Our goal for this partnership is to provide students with the insight and information they need to jumpstart a career with the Secret Service.”
Matthew Cardin, Assistant Vice President for Enrollment Management and Career Initiatives at Iona University, said: “We are excited to partner and serve as a recruiting hub for the Secret Service and see it as a great fit for some of our students and the agency. We look forward to seeing the placements that will come from this partnership overtime.”
The Gerri Ripp Center for Career Development will also offer guidance to interested students throughout the entire application process.
