For governments, organisations and companies alike, the sudden COVID-19 outbreak has brought a sharp focus on the need of crisis preparedness and response strategies.
To provide working professionals the critical skills and industry knowledge needed to prepare for pandemics, as well as other natural and human-created disasters, Georgetown University is offering a Virtual Alumni Panel information session about their one-year International Executive Master’s in Emergency & Disaster Management programme November 23 at 7pm.
At the panel, graduates of the programme, which has been offered in Qatar since 2017, will be on hand to share their experience and how it helped advance their careers. The information session will also provide insights into the programme’s international engagements, curriculum, requirements, fees and offer a question and answer session.
“Students in our programme represent a diverse group of professionals across many industries, including first response, planning, public policy, global health, human and social services, military, humanitarian aid and government,” said Georgetown Faculty Director Dr Tim Frazier. “Graduates of this degree programme use the strong critical thinking and problem-solving abilities they gain to serve in important leadership roles in their fields.”
Offered by Georgetown’s School of Continuing Studies in Washington, DC, the International Executive Master’s in Emergency & Disaster Management programme provides critical real-world experience and engagement opportunities with leading experts in the field. “The timing of this degree programme couldn’t be more relevant, as Qatar gears up for one of the most important sporting events in the world, an event that will impact a wide range of sectors across the country,” he added.
The information session is open to the public and reservations are not required. More detail is available at http://scs.georgetown.edu/panel
