SPS 2019: We Went to a Land Down Under (Australian Embassy Visit)

The School of Public Service does get off campus a lot during a typical session -- but to Australia? As a matter of fact, yes.  Although it's nearly 10,000 miles to Australia, the School of Public Service visited Australian territory today with a visit to the Australian Embassy.  The Australian Ambassador to the United States, the Honorable Joe Hockey, spoke to our group about the "mateship" (Aussie for friendship) between the two countries; the issues on which they work together most frequently; and what a career in diplomacy entails for any future American diplomats in the audience.  SPS is grateful to the Ambassador and his staff for the fantastic visit.
