(Leavenworth, Kan.)&苍产蝉辫;鈥�&苍产蝉辫;The 花椒直播, in conjunction with several area institutions of higher education, has joined the collaborative Leavenworth National Security Education Consortium (LNSEC).
The purpose of this group is to strengthen national security education through expertise sharing, collaborative research and publishing, library integration, and certificate program development. President Biden established the roots for this effort with the February 2021 National Security Memorandum, Revitalizing America鈥檚 Foreign Policy and National Security Workforce, Institutions, and Partnerships.
The LNSEC, which utilizes institutionally-supported collaboration between faculty, departments, and programs as a transformational teaching and learning experience, aligns well with the University 花椒直播 Strategic Direction.
These transformational teaching and learning experiences in collaboration with partner-member institutions exponentially expand our University鈥檚 reach across a myriad of academic programs, student learning outcomes, and areas of research.
The focus on access to education, climate strategy, ethics, equity and inclusion are all countering threats to our national security. USM initiatives regarding the university's liberal arts core, integral ecology, and attention to the first gen population are all worthy of both harvesting best practices from or providing to the body of work of those in the LNSEC.
Member institutions currently include Kansas State University (KSU), Park University (Parkville, MO), the University of Kansas (KU), the University of Missouri 鈥� Kansas City (UMKC), the 花椒直播 (USM), Hampton University (HU) and the U.S. Command and General Staff College (CSGS). With diverse and unique history, programs of study, and educational outcomes, the allied member institutions come together to share not only best practices, but to extend reach for lecture series, symposiums, conferences, and other events of national security importance.
Governed by senior executives of each academic institution, the LNSEC enables individual university strategic priorities, while facilitating unified networking opportunities and professional discourse between faculty, staff and national security professionals.
Participation in LNSEC will only improve the quality of exchange and dialogue on matters of national security interest. Ideas and recommendations for future LNSEC collaborations are welcome. Contact your university academic leadership for more information.
While a tendency may be to consider national security to be military application of academic pursuits, the compelling aspect of this collaboration speaks toward the betterment of humanity and foundational commitments of each University.
