“In an unpredictable world, you need to have skilled professionals that are not only proficient at responding to emergent situations, but have the foresight to help prevent crises from happening,” said Dr. Jeffrey Zimmerman, dean of Indiana Tech’s College of Business. “Our emergency response management program will equip students with a skill set that will help them accomplish both.”
