Capella University PhD Student Named Director of the Homeland Security Academy; Center for Academic and Agency Outreach
Cheryl Seminara, a PhD student in the School of Business and Technology at Capella University, has been named director of the Homeland Security Academy, which is the U.S. Department of Homeland Security’s continuing education program offered through the Department of Defense Senior Service Schools. In her new role, Seminara will coordinate all of the Department of Homeland Security’s academic, rotational assignment, mentor, and intern/extern programs, as well as the partnerships with other federal agencies.
“Capella is one of the main reasons that I have been able to be successful right from the start at the Department of Homeland Security,” Seminara said. “The courses were relevant to what I was doing, and I am pretty confident that I would not be here today if I had not been a scholar-practitioner at Capella University.”
“I am quite proud of Capella’s designation as a National Center of Academic Excellence, as one of my main responsibilities is to work with schools around the nation to identify partnership opportunities for the Department of Homeland Security,” Seminara said.
Previously, Seminara served as the Project Lead for Training for the Yucca Mountain Project in Nevada, where she developed training programs for hundreds of engineers, biochemists, geologists, and other scientists – working on one of the most sensitive projects in the scientific field today.
