The special agents recounted their own academy experiences, providing valuable insights and advice so students are well-prepared for the rigorous process.
College seniors will be eligible to apply January 1, 2024. Students can visit USAjobs.gov or contact the Career Center for the latest list of vacancies. Underclassmen will also be aware of the agency’s requirements and policies early in their college career to ensure preparedness.
“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.
