Endicott College Presents Expert Panel on the Department of Homeland Security

Endicott College Presents Expert Panel on the Department of Homeland Security










Beverly, MA (PRWEB) September 05, 2011

To commemorate the launch of a new Security Studies minor, Endicott College will host “The State of Security: The Department of Homeland Security Ten Years After 9/11” on September 14, 2011, at 7:30pm at the Endicott Auditorium, Wax Academic Center, Endicott College, 376 Hale Street, Beverly. The event is free and open to the public.

A distinguished panel of experts, including Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) Deputy Administrator Richard Serino, former Department of Homeland Security Assistant Secretary Juliette Kayyem and retired Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) Assistant Director Barry Mawn, will discuss the evolution of homeland security policy and practice in the decade since the formation of the Department of Homeland Security in response to the Sept. 11, 2001 terrorist attacks.

The presentation will examine how the United States’ security strategy has developed from an almost singular focus on terrorism in the aftermath of the Sept. 11 attacks to the “all hazards” approach that shapes current Department of Homeland Security strategy. The panel members will speak to the coordination and planning between the various agencies of the federal government and state and local partners on issues as varied as natural and manmade disasters, terrorism investigations, intelligence sharing, and pandemic flu. In particular, Deputy Administrator Serino will address FEMA’s role in preparing for, protecting against, responding to, recovering from and mitigating all hazards.

The introduction of a Security Studies minor at Endicott puts the College at the forefront of a new area of education, providing an opportunity to study issues related to homeland and national security at an undergraduate level and opening the door for additional graduate studies. Assisting Endicott in creating and managing this program, among others related to criminal justice and security, is former Essex County District Attorney and Massachusetts Secretary of Public Safety and Security, Kevin Burke. Mr. Burke’s involvement in public safety includes supervision of state homeland security, developing legislation and legal policy for the state, management of agencies including State Police, Massachusetts Emergency Management Agency (MEMA), Department of Corrections, and National Guard, and service in the Massachusetts House of Representatives. Mr. Burke will moderate the Sept. 14 panel.

For more information on this event, contact Kevin Burke at 978-232-2380 or kburke(at)endicott(dot)edu.
