GSN 2010 Awards: Glen Woodbury, Director, Center for Homeland Defense and Security (CHDS), Naval Postgraduate School (NPS)

Following CHDS’s recognition at GSN’s 2010 Awards Dinner as a strategic national/international laboratory for the evolving discipline of Homeland Security, director Glen Woodbury describes the Center as a unique blend of practitioners and academics who encourage active discussion and debate of security challenges and sharing of the resulting solutions. He says the faculty includes prominent visiting professors from top universities, and the Center seeks out “fast risers” from a variety of disciplines,  many of whom go on to high positions after graduation in FEMA, the Coast Guard, FBI and national leadership positions in other law enforcement, public health agencies and branches of the military.
