Donald Valicenti

In the latest Alumni Spotlight interview, we delve into the journey of Donald Valicenti, Vice-Consul of the U.S. Department of State in Pakistan, whose academic endeavors at Schiller International University’s Madrid Campus set the foundation for an very interesting career in diplomacy. Between 2014 and 2019, Donald majored in International Relations and Diplomacy, a field that perfectly aligned with his subsequent roles within the U.S. Foreign Service. Having served as U.S. Vice Consul in Mexico, Peru and now in Pakistan, Donald reflects on his professional trajectory, cherished memories, and the profound impact of Schiller’s methodology and style in his education and career. He offers insightful advice to current students – “In today’s international market, your real-world experience, ability to network, and a healthy work ethic are valued far more than the prestige of your degree, your social background, or overworking yourself” - and shares the enriching experiences gained from living in diverse cultures while working in various countries. Join us as we explore Donald's story, from his initial discovery of Schiller University to his aspirations and challenges within the diplomatic sphere.
