Adelphi University inducted three students into the Emergency Management/Homeland Security Honors Society, The Order of the Sword and Shield.

The Order of the Sword and Shield (OSS) is the first national academic and professional honor society dedicated exclusively to homeland security, intelligence, and all protective security disciplines. This organization promotes critical thinking, high scholarship and professional development, and further enhances the ethical standards of the protective security professions.

OSS chapter advisor Meghan McPherson performed the ritual initiating the new class on Dec. 10, 2015. McPherson was also recently appointed to the Inaugural National Advisory Board for OSS.

The three members inducted this fall: Kathleen Murray of Island Park, Robert Bristol from East Rockaway and Robert Designore of Williston Park. The inductees come from both the Master of Science in Emergency Management Program as well as the Graduate Certificate Program.
