[ r [ CIA talks job opportunity with students Recruiter discusses available career paths, U.S. intelligence By TREVOR SIMONTON The Rocky Mountain Collegian CSU alum and Central Intelligence Agency re- cruiter David Burris came to the Lory Student Center Wednesday afternoon to discuss career opportunities in the CIA with students. The small meeting room on the second fl oor of the LSC was packed with students as Burris began his speech. About half of the 60 or so students who came to hear Burris speak were criminal justice majors. The rest of the crowd included students from a variety of majors; many had received word of the visit from the Student FYI e-mail system. Burris graduated from CSU with a bachelor’s de- gree in history in 1975 “back in the days when it was still called ‘Moo U,’” he said.

PHOTO IL- DESIGN BY JAMIE WAUGH | COLLEGIAN Shortly after introducing himself, Burris spoke LUSTRATION about the purpose of the agency. “In essence, the CIA recruits spies and steals se- crets,” Burris said. “But it takes a lot of analysis. At the core of the CIA is human intelligence, but it’s not intel- ligence until it’s analyzed.” O T Cookin’ with Nikki Burris said that the largest source of this intelli- gence is the media. “When I was hired, you couldn’t Google a thing. I was amazed with what the Corona project let us do; we could look at pictures taken from satellites. Now you can do that on Google Earth,” Burris said. “That was 30-plus years ago; you can imagine what we can do now.” He went on to explain that the mission of the CIA is to be the keystone of US intelligence, and that it was established to bring objective truth to the US policy makers. “We want to know what the intentions of our enemies are,” Burris said. Burris said that he could talk all day about his job, but as a recruiter he had to move on to what the CIA looks for in its employees. “The absolute, number one thing this job needs is integrity,” Burris said. “It doesn’t matter where you come from, how smart you are, or anything else if you “Defi nitely, Maybe” is Amp Live gives ‘new AARON MONTOYA | COLLEGIAN don’t have the ability to do what is right when nobody an entertaining fl ick ... life’ to an old dog.
