Students who get involved are more likely to find success in careers after college - and we know that is true in our program. The students who we see go on to successful EM careers are the same students we always saw around the halls, participating in field trips, research projects, and in the IAEM Student Chapter. So find something that interests you and sign up! It can go a long way.
The mission of the International Association of Emergency Managers (IAEM) is to advance the profession by promoting the principles of emergency management; to serve its members by providing information, networking and professional development opportunities; and to advance the emergency management profession.
The Student Chapter of IAEM at FSU is an award-winning organization dedicated to providing new educational and networking opportunities for our students. If you would like to get involved, please visit the Chapter's Facebook Page.
In order to request your certificate, you must first have completed a program application before the end of your second course in the certificate program. After you have completed all the course requirements for your level of study (graduate or undergraduate) you will need to get in touch with our Program Administrator (cert_request@em.fsu.edu). Indicate the courses you have completed, the address you'd like the certificate mailed and a copy of your unofficial transcript. If the record is complete, you will be issued the certificate which is then mailed to the address you provided. Successful completion of the courses applied to the EMHS Certificate is defined as a grade of C or higher (some courses may have higher grade requirements). Students who receive grades lower than a C in any courses must repeat that course if they wish to have it apply to the EMHS certificate.
The Student Disaster Corps (SDC) is intended to provide students with hands-on experience in all phases of emergency management while simultaneously supporting partner organizations with volunteers.
Current EMHS students interesting in volunteering with SDC should contact Dr. Audrey Heffron-Casserleigh at disastercorps@em.fsu.edu.
