 Key into Public Service Kick-Off Event


On June 25, 2019, from 5:30-7:30pm, the Phi Beta Kappa Society and the Partnership for Public Service hosted an event for current students, interns, and young professionals looking to pursue careers in public service. 

Key into Public Service took place at the U.S. Capitol in the Gold Room of the Rayburn House Office Building

Atendees joined us for a reception and panel discussion on the pathways into public service for liberal arts and sciences students in general and Phi Beta Kappa members in particular.

After the panel, the Society hosted a reception with drinks and hors d’oeuvres where attendees made professional connections and learned more about the work Phi Beta Kappa is doing to help graduates navigate their careers.

*This event was open to the public and was a widely attended event in accordance with ethics rules*
