Mr. JEFFERY D. McMANUS, a member of the Director of the Counter terrorism Initiatives Office at the U.S. Department of Defense, spoke for a History and Political Studies Departmental on Monday, January 29. Mr. McManus spent about an hour meeting with history and political studies majors, talking about possible careers in national security.

Mr. McManus spent a lot of time talking about how the work at the Department of Defense has changed since 9/11, focusing on the roll that counter terrorism plays in the overall national security of the country. Students also had a chance to ask questions about his day-to-day duties.

The Department of Defense is located in Arlington, VA, about 10 miles from the campus of Columbia Union College.
