Southeast Missouri State University student Kevin Marquez of Belleville, IL, has been selected to participate in a four-day seminar during spring break week March 13-18 at the Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS) in Washington, D.C.

CSIS is a strategic think tank whose scholars and board members provide advice to the federal government on significant social, economic, environmental and political global issues. Students at Southeast enroll in a course that allows them to work throughout the week with researchers and consultants who advise national leaders in the top levels of government as they develop policies and strategies that affect the United States and the global community.

Marquez is a junior pursuing a degree in marketing management and a minor in finance. He serves as treasurer of Lambda Chi Alpha, executive member of Student Government and a resident assistant, and he is a member of Campus Outreach. His career aspirations include owning and running a business internationally. Marquez is the son of Gene and Marion Marquez of Belleville, Illinois, and is a 2013 graduate of O'Fallon Township High School.
