NPS Center for Homeland Defense and Security turns 5!

NPS graduate HS program celebrates its 5-yr anniversary! This gold standard of graduate-level HS education is expanding to the East Coast (Shepherdstown WV, so I read) this year as part of its 5-yr anniversary.
Born out of the chaos and tragedy of Sept. 11, 2001, the Naval Postgraduate School's Center for Homeland Defense and Security has lived up to expectations, say those who started it.
The center is celebrating its fifth anniversary this week at the Navy school with a reunion of founders and alumni that started with a reception at the school Tuesday. The program has about 90 graduates a year.
It began its first class of 14 master's degree candidates in 2003, and some of them, like retired New York Fire Capt. Vincent Doherty, were there when the World Trade Center was hit by suicide pilots flying jetliners, collapsing the mammoth twin towers and killing more than 3,000 people.
