Center for Defense & Homeland Security (CDHS)
Dr. Charles Senior Associate Vice Chancellor for Institutional Transformation & CDHS Executive Director
In order to keep pace with the workforce demands of emerging technologies to forecast and respond to the mitigation and recovery of natural and man-made catastrophic disasters, the CDHS scholars have joined forces with academic and industry partners to enhance and develop programs and capabilities in scientific and engineering disciplines critical to the national security functions of the military. These collaborations are not only promoting research and technological innovations; they are also integral in establishing robust mentoring research opportunities at FSU for students in the fields of Science, Technology, Engineering and/or Mathematics (STEM) in preparation for jobs in the DoD and Homeland Security, as well as in the Emergency Management and Intelligence fields. As CDHS Scholars share joint responsibilities in research, program design, and classroom instruction, they are uniquely qualified to address our national security needs of the present, and form a career pipeline to the students who will address those needs in the future.
