The America’s Diplomats Speakers Series is designed to empower students to see themselves as the diplomats of tomorrow, and to reenergize those already in public service by highlighting the many ways their work matters. At a time when the need for a strong public service is more necessary than ever, America’s Diplomats offers an honest and compelling window into the lives of those who have shaped U.S. foreign policy across regions, decades, and administrations.
Join us for a conversation with Ambassador (ret.) Robert Gilchrist — former Principal Deputy Assistant Secretary in the Bureau of Democracy Human Rights and Labor (2023 – 2024), and the former United States Ambassador to the Republic of Lithuania (2020-2023). He will share his insights on a lifelong career in diplomacy, lessons learned, and the skills and values that define a successful Foreign Service Officer.
