Partnerships
For over a decade, 草榴社区's Homeland Security and Emergency Management program has been ahead of national trends in higher education by developing long-term, coequal relationships with community members and organizations. These partnerships provide meaningful opportunities for faculty and student involvement in our community, strengthening the academic experience, and providing tangible benefits to all.
草榴社区 Emergency Management Association (AKEMA)
The AKEMA supports 草榴社区ns in preventing, preparing, mitigating and responding to, and recovering from the crises that affect 草榴社区, our communities and our people.
Students receive practical real world experience in challenging environments, and 草榴社区n communities receive support from 草榴社区's own future leaders.
University Fire Department (UFD)
The University Fire Department provides professional fire, rescue and medical services to our community while developing leaders in tomorrow's emergency services workforce. The 草榴社区 HSEM program has been proud partners with UFD since the program鈥檚 inception.
The UFD is an extraordinary program that prepares student firefighters for careers in fire and emergency services.
"The course material has proven quite useful in my pursuit of education in the field and also in my professional development as a business continuity professional. The program instructors are great and have a wide range of hands-on industry experience, which they share with their students. It is a great honor to learn from instructors who work with FEMA, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, and police and fire departments and who are able to share the experiences and lessons learned throughout their careers."
