Heading back to school this fall? We like to call our Headquarters a "campus"-- but we're never on summer break. We have a cafeteria, gyms, a library, an auditorium, and collaboration spaces-- all designed with learning, teamwork, and mission in mind! #BacktoSchool pic.twitter.com/4dsJzsxeYy— CIA (@CIA) September 5, 2019
