Homeland Security Research Symposium

The symposium on homeland security hosted by the Coles College of Business showcases quality research by both industry and academic experts on homeland security issues. This event is meant to facilitate discussions among peers on important research advancements in the homeland security domain, the current state of affairs and related future challenges and possible strategies to tackle them. It is also gives the opportunity to build partnerships and future research collaborations as researchers attempt to strategically address these challenges.

Beyond showcasing notable research and practice-oriented work in homeland security, we publish a special working paper series issue featuring Coles faculty work submitted to this event. The symposium features student research posters conducted under the mentorship of our faculty in related areas.
