Season's Greetings!  We are closing an eventful and highly successful year at CPS and we have much to celebrate.

Our cybersecurity degree completion program graduated its first BPS class and has strong enrollments at two locations all due to the strong leadership of program director Scott White.

The Center for Excellence in Public Leadership, under the able leadership of Jim Robinson, had a record year for enrollments and revenue.

GSPM, under the attentive and settling influence of director Lara Brown, had a banner year in enrollments, programming, and their public facing activities.

The Paralegal online program, led by Toni Marsh, is ranked #12 nationally. The Homeland Security online program, directed by Elaine Lammert, is ranked first nationally.

John Carruthers has Sustainable Urban Planning ranked 9th among Regional and Urban Planning programs.

And Jeff Delinski’s Police and Security Studies is ranked #1 for academic strength.

We also are pleased to welcome three new program directors: Elaine Lammert (Homeland Security), John Warren (Publishing), and Todd Belt (Political Management).

And so, as we approach the year 2019, I want to wish you and your loved ones a great Holiday Season and a very Happy New Year. I hope you will continue to stay connected with CPS and, if it is within your means, that you will remember us in your year-end giving.

We welcome your engagement and continued support. In the meantime, have a safe and enjoyable holiday break!

Interim Dean
