MH&A Managing Partner Steven J. Healy will moderate discussions at the NACUBO Campus Safety and Security Conference’s afternoon sessions focusing on Findings from the Field – communications and institutional structures to support emergency management.  Healy is IACLEA’s representative to the NACUBO National Campus Safety and Security Project.  In this role, Healy has served as an advisor as the group worked on this project over the past 18 months.  Saturday’s conference will focus on initial findings from the Campus Safety and Security Project Survey. 
The Campus Safety and Security Project is a major initiative to explore threats faced by colleges and universities and to strengthen campus safety and security, nationally.  The project included an assessment of the wide-ranging risks common to all institutions. Results include guidance on preparing emergency management plans for prevention, preparedness, response, and recovery related to threats of every nature:  natural disasters, infectious diseases, shootings, terrorist attacks, cyber attacks—all types of events with the potential for devastation.
Seven major higher education associations partnered with NACUBO in this initiative, including: American College Personnel Association (ACPA), APPA, the Association of Governing Boards of Universities and Colleges (AGB), EDUCAUSE, the International Association of Campus Law Enforcement Administrators (IACLEA), the National Association of College and University Attorneys (NACUA), and University Risk Management and Insurance Association (URMIA).
