by David Longshore
Between May 9-19, 2009, students in MCNY's MPA program in Emergency and Disaster Management studied counterterrorism and emergency management at IMI Academy in Tel Aviv, Israel. Here is just a fraction of the positive feedback shared with the College by those who attended:
"This trip [to Israel] for me was a one-time life experience, not only in my professional career but also with a personal perspective. I had learned so much in the [IMI] Academy about other views of the immediate hazards of terrorism...Thank you for giving me the opportunity to have this international experience, where knowledge and awareness went hand in hand."
