CEMR Network UpdateIt came to our attention that there was an ‘inquiring mind’ about ‘who is’ CEMR Network and ‘what’ are they about. In response:Who and What is the CEMR NetworkThe CEMR Network is a nonprofit organization created by a group of emergency management professionals that are dedicated to furthering the profession and breaking down barriers that prevent its progress. The founders of the CEMRN are a group of emergency management professionals that possess a passion for the profession that is supported by decades of service, academic achievement, and recognition of excellence: professionals that strive to build knowledge through sound research, application, and collective contributions.

IT’S FREE! from the Hi Ed Program:Curriculum Mapping Roundtable, October 13-14, 2010In past years while students in emergency management degree programs have received solid undergraduate educations the question remains whether the student is prepared for or aligned to a graduate level emergency management program. Many students find they are required to take additional course work or take on an addition load of work to “catch up” because the curriculum in an undergraduate program did not match exactly with the requirements for a graduate program or potential employment requirements. The Curriculum Mapping Roundtable will work to resolve these issues by setting a recommended set of standards for emergency management higher education outcomes. A basic curriculum map allows institutions to add their own additional learning outcomes, integrate existing and unique institutional offerings, and include the more traditional courses in their program curriculum to meet a core set of outcomes. Both the suggested program outcomes and the recommendations will be sent out to the emergency management academic community for further comment in approximately one week. The roundtable plans to reconvene in February 2011 to further refine their efforts and to discuss recommendations and comments by the EM academic community. A conference breakout session for the roundtable is planned for further discussion and development. Dr. Wayne Blanchard, Higher Education Program Manager, retired September 30, 2010.
