He is the chief of an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) unit that has myriad responsibilities. One day, he’s involved in a worldwide effort to stop the flow of chemicals used in the making of roadside bombs, which are the leading killer of American troops. The next day, he’s helping federal investigators nab international art thieves. The variety is one of the things Kozlusky, GWSB MBA, ’01, loves about his job as chief of the Multilateral Operations and Programs Unit. “I often feel like I have one of the best jobs in the federal government,” he said. “I’m always challenged, and every day is different.” He isn’t your typical GWSB grad, unless most graduates are former Marines who oversee gun-toting federal agents. His unit, which focuses on customs issues, deals with multiple immigration and customs offices, other federal agencies and other countries.
