May 6, 2010—The George Washington University Homeland Security Policy Institute (HSPI) today announced the appointment of its 2010 Senior Fellows class.
“The Senior Fellows are an exceptional group drawn from a range of sectors and disciplines. Their expertise and insights will be instrumental in helping to shape and further HSPI’s policy and research agenda,” said Frank Cilluffo, Director of HSPI.
A selection committee including representation from HSPI’s Steering Committee, the 2009 class of Senior Fellows, and staff reviewed the unprecedented number of applications. The members of the 2010 class are drawn from government, academia, the non-profit and private sectors, with expertise in areas including counterterrorism, radicalization, intelligence and counter-intelligence, crisis communications, the behavioral sciences, interagency policy development and coordination, critical infrastructure protection, public health, community preparedness and resilience, cybersecurity, defense, science and technology policy, and public/private partnerships. Throughout the year, Fellows will participate in roundtable sessions with senior government officials, and collaborate to publish policy papers, including Issue Briefs that speak to the day’s most pressing homeland security challenges.
Members of this year’s class have already been active contributors. For example, HSPI Senior Fellows Raphael Barishansky and Daniel Kimmage have published, respectively, on subjects ranging from the intersection between health and national security, to al-Qaeda and the Internet.
Note: Senior fellows were selected based upon individual expertise, not their professional affiliation. They are not HSPI employees.
