About IAEM-SC

Why create a Student Association?

Recent global awareness in the field of Emergency Management has facilitated an exponential growth in Emergency Management education programs and the number of students as well.  This created a strong need for an international association for students seeking degrees in the field of Emergency Management.  Through uniting these students, IAEM-SC hopes to facilitate additional development in the field and support students on their path to careers in Emergency Management.  The International Association of Emergency Management-Student Council not only serves to link Emergency Management students around the world, but also to their community.

We work with University of North Texas alumni, staff at our school, and other locals in the field to help create a new learning environment outside of the classroom. IAEM-SC members have participates in local events and training. This not only helps students to network, but also gives them more knowledge and experience to take to the workplace after they graduate. 

IAEM-SC has great growth potential and will be an asset to a student's development in the field of Emergency Management.  Furthermore, IAEM-SC facilitates an image of professionalism while it fosters the growth of interest in the field of Emergency Management.
