The Order of the Sword and
Shield (OSS) is the first national academic and
professional honor society dedicated exclusively to homeland security,
intelligence, and all protective security disciplines. The purpose of this
organization is to promote critical thinking, high scholarship and professional
development, and to further enhance the ethical standards of the protective
security professions. Adelphi’s OSS Chapter
Advisor Meghan McPherson, CEM, assistant director of the Center for Health
Innovation and adjunct faculty for the Emergency Management Graduate Programs, performed
the ritual initiating the new class of high caliber students on December 10,
2015. McPherson was also recently appointed to the Inaugural National Advisory
Board for OSS. The ceremony was witnessed by the inductee’s friends and family,
as well as University College Dean Shawn O’Riley.
Adelphi
University congratulates the three members inducted this fall: Robert Bristol, Robert Designore, and Kathleen Murray.
The inductees come from both the M.S. in Emergency Management Program as well
as the Graduate Certificate Program. The Emergency Management Program is
extremely proud of their achievement and their commitment to ensuring the
safety of their community.
