Meet the US Ambassador to Ukraine!: brown bag lunch on Ukraine, Wed., Sept. 3, 2014, 12-1 pm, Career Development Center One of the amazing things about being at IU is the incredible number of high-level officials (domestic and international) who visit throughout the year, and we prioritize making sure that our students get to interact with them.
