Two Norwich University faculty members participated in the US Army War College's annual national security seminar in Carlisle, PA, June 5-9. Tara Kulkarni, associate professor of civil and environmental engineering and director of the Center for Global Resilience and Security, and Travis Morris, associate professor of criminal justice, were among 168 business, government, academic and community leaders selected from across the country to take part in the weeklong academic seminar alongside students of the War College.
National Security Seminar days are structured around daily presentations about an issue of national security significance, followed by candid discussion in a seminar with students representing US military students, representatives of US government agencies and international officers in the student body. NSS days provide guests with extensive academic and social interaction with Army War College students, who represent senior officers in the US Army, Air Force, Navy, Marine Corps, Coast Guard and other nations’ armed forces, with senior federal agency civilians.
The mission of the US Army War College since 1901 is to enhance national and global security by developing ideas and educating US and international leaders to serve and lead at the strategic-enterprise level.
The Army War College resident education program, which sponsors NSS, is the signature program among its multiple education programs for strategists, senior leaders and Army general officers.
