Text the ATB Team! We'd love to hear from you! In this episode of At the Boundary, the Global and National Security Institute (GNSI) at the University of South Florida takes you inside the GNSI DC Experience. A program designed to give USF students interested in national security careers a chance to tour capitol hill and meet professional mentors in policy and defense.  Host Jim Cardoso is joined by USF Future Strategist Program (FSP) students Dontavious Ellis and Santiago Zambrano, along with GNSI events planner Sophia Montero, to discuss how this unique program connects students directly with the U.S. national security ecosystem. They also discuss the trip itinerary and personal goals to check out while they are there. Checkpoints include Capitol Hill and the Pentagon along with visiting a few leading think tanks and intelligence professionals. The DC Experience offers unparalleled exposure to real-world decision-making, policy development, and strategic leadership.Links from the Episode:• GNSI Announces Student Cohort for DC Experience • Tad and Guido’s articleGNSI on X GNSI on LinkedinGNSI on YouTubeAt the Boundary  from the Global and National Security Institute at the University of South Florida,  features global and national security issues we’ve found to be insightful, intriguing, fascinating, maybe controversial, but overall just worth talking about.A "boundary" is a place, either literal or figurative, where two forces exist in close proximity to each other. Sometimes that boundary is in a state of harmony. More often than not, that boundary has a bit of chaos baked in. The Global and National Security Institute will live on the boundary of security policy and technology and that's where this podcast will focus. The mission of GNSI is to provide actionable solutions to 21st-century security challenges for decision-makers at the local, state, national and global levels.
