Student Spotlight

RACHAEL DONIGER, BEM 2016Dispatcher, Snohomish County Police Staff and Auxiliary Services Center, WA

“The HSEM program at UAF allows people in the military or the emergency service fields to highlight their skills and experiences and apply them toward the growing fields of emergency management and homeland security.

Working as a full-time 9-1-1 dispatcher, I needed an affordable, quality program that was available online and flexible for my schedule, and I found it at UAF. For me, a highlight of this program has been receiving instruction from experienced professionals who can relate the course material to practical, real-world applications. In addition, my fellow students come from a broad range of professions and offer unique perspectives.

My experience in the HSEM program has broadened my own emergency dispatcher viewpoint to a more global emergency management perspective. I strongly believe this degree can provide career advancement opportunities in both the private and public sectors of emergency management.”
