Women in Leadership Profile: Shannon Marheine By Deb Moller If I told you that a woman is an ardent motorcycle enthusiast, riding a 2016 Indian Scout 60 motorcycle every chance she gets, it wouldn’t lead you to assume she works in homeland security. After all, what’s the connection? Shannon Marheine says riding her motorcycle is a lot like her work in homeland security - she loves it, it’s fast, it requires paying attention to everything at the same time, you can’t phone it in, you’re never a passive passenger on the ride, and you’re always anticipating whatever obstacle or danger [...]

Interview With Rising star: Tamara Corpin Linda Crerar: Share with us what it was that drew you to the Homeland Security Emergency Management field. Tamara Corpin: Before getting my degree in Homeland Security, my background was education. So, I had spent many years teaching and developing a curriculum. One of the hats that I wore wasn’t officially titled but developing Emergency Operations plans. And so, I enjoyed that aspect of what I was doing in education. I also really enjoyed just doing personal family preparedness for our family. So, when I decided to go back to school, I thought about, [...]

Interview With Rising star: Mikaela Hagberg Linda Crerar: We are delighted to see your nomination. Can you tell me just a bit about the person that nominated you? Mikaela Hagberg: David Manly. He is our safety officer for Airlift Northwest.

Interview With Rising star: Shontieka Adeogun Linda Crerar: What initially drew you to Homeland Security Emergency Management? Shontieka Adeogun: I thought at first that I wanted to be a nurse. My grandma, a nurse, raised me, and I initially thought that I wanted to be a nurse to honor her because she was my mom. But, unfortunately, she just passed away recently. And when I was doing my clinical, I was, you know, I thought to myself, this probably really isn’t my calling—one-to-one patient care. And I don’t have the temperament God gave people to do one-to-one patient care. Michelle [...]

Holiday Message from COE -HSEM Co-Chair Curry Mayer Moving into the second holiday season of a global pandemic and another New Year where there is a good deal of uncertainty, is no doubt not where we thought we would be this year.

And at the risk of sounding Polly Anna, let me explain. Throughout 2021, we have seen and felt and understood like never before the power [...]

However, I am not someone who does. I wouldn’t say I like losing that extra hour of daylight. I’m not a fan of the sun setting at 4:30 p.m. and having to drive home in the dark. We don’t get the necessary Vitamin D with the lack of sunlight, which brings on the seasonal affective disorder (SAD). What is SAD? According to the Mayo Clinic, [...]
