Penn State faculty, staff, and administrators: Join us to explore further opportunities to enhance Penn State’s already robust teaching, research, and outreach in the field of security.

All Penn State employees with teaching, research, and service interests in the broadly defined field of national and global security are invited to participate in an internal dialogue led by a faculty working group. We want your feedback on the working group’s recommendations to enhance intra-University collaboration on security research and curricular matters as well as ways to better promote Penn State’s security capabilities to external audiences. For more information, contact Russ Shaffer at rls80@psu.edu or Wyatt DuBois at wed112@psu.edu.
