Organization of Security Students
The Organization of Security Students is a scholarly association with the primary goal of enriching the student’s understanding of both national and international security studies. We seek to increase awareness of current security issues among the multi-disciplines included in the growing field of Homeland Security. In order to preserve this goal we actively participate in discussions and invite speakers to supplement course curriculum in increasing the student’s awareness of emerging and past security topics and concerns.
