Fireside Chat with Former Ukrainian Ambassador Bridget Brink

Join James Madison College for a fireside chat with Bridget Brink, the former Ambassador of Ukraine whose career spans nearly three decades of service under both Republican and Democratic administrations. Facilitated by JMC’s Career Services Office and Professor Kirstin Braithwaite, our conversation will explore the personal and professional lessons learned from a life devoted to international service, as well as insights into Ukraine’s ongoing fight for sovereignty and democracy. 

Ambassador Brink will also offer advice to students interested in international affairs, diplomacy, and public service, including what skills are most valuable in a global career and why the next generation’s voice matters in shaping the future of peace and democracy.
