Is the Nation’s Capital also the World Capital of Espionage? Washington, DC is home to an alphabet soup of federal intelligence agencies: the CIA and DIA, NSA and NRO, INR and FBI and several more. Did you know that NRO works with satellites and INR analyzes intel for the State Department? The U.S. Government is a prime espionage target for international foes and friends.

The Office of the Director of National Intelligence and the University of Mississippi are bringing Washington, DC to Oxford, Mississippi. Here’s your chance to learn more about the Intelligence Community (18 federal agencies) and possibly follow in the footsteps of our Nation’s first President and first spymaster, George Washington, who skillfully managed covert operations to outfox the British and win the Revolutionary War.
