Careers in Public Service: From UMD to the White House and Back
Wednesday, October 16
4:30pm
Multipurpose Room, La Plata Hall
Join us for a special event featuring University of Maryland alum and Public Engagement Advisor in the White House Office of Public Engagement, Paul Monteiro.
Paul Monteiro was born in Columbia, Maryland and attended local private and public schools graduating from High Point High School in 1998. He attended the University of Maryland (B.A. History, 2002) where he was an active member of Alpha Nu Omega, Inc. the Student Government Association, the Student Legal Aid Office, Phi Alpha Delta Pre-Law Fraternity, and the Maryland Academic Quiz Team. In 1999, he served as an aide to the Marshal of the Supreme Court of the United States. Following graduation Paul worked as a paralegal at a DC law firm before enrolling at the Howard University School of Law (J.D. 2007). While in law school, he served as chapter president of the Christian Legal Society, captain of the Charles Houston Moot Court team, and as a Marshall-Brennan Fellow teaching constitutional law to middle school students. He accepted a position with O’Melveny & Myers, a Los Angeles based law firm. Paul later began working for Senator Obama on Capitol Hill before transitioning to his role as deputy director of religious affairs for the Obama for America campaign in 2007. Following the campaign, he worked on the Presidential Inauguration Committee before assuming his current post at the White House in February 2009. The White House Office of Public Engagement is the embodiment of the President’s goal of making government inclusive, transparent, accountable and responsible, as it creates and coordinates opportunities for direct dialogue between the Obama administration and the American public.
Paul Monteiro will discuss the important role that internships, mentoring and networking have played in his career path to date, as well as share information about his current work and vignettes that illustrate some of the good, bad and ugly of working in national politics. There will be a Q&A session as well. This event is free and part of the University Honors Program’s What Is Your Dream? programming series.
