Connecting our Past with our Future: Celebrating Community Impact through 25 Years of the FEMA Higher Education Symposium
The theme for this year's FEMA Higher Education Symposium celebrates the founding voices of emergency management higher education who brought us the first Symposium 25 years ago.

The theme for this year’s FEMA Higher Education Symposium celebrates the founding voices of emergency management higher education who brought us the first Symposium 25 years ago. It acknowledges the hard work and dedication of the academic community that has led to immense growth in emergency management programs, innovative research, and students. Connecting with our past is a reflection upon the rich history and scholarship of the emergency management discipline that has provided a strong foundation to build from. Furthermore, the theme calls us to envision a future practice of emergency management made stronger by students educated in cultural competence and prepared for the demands of an emerging and evolving threat landscape, including the threat posed by climate change.
