DEAN’S MESSAGE
- Our students and faculty are also engaged in cutting-edge research through the Federal Aviation Administration’s (FAA) Cyber Security Data Science (CSDS) program, which awarded $1.3 million to Embry Riddle’s Center for Aerospace Resilient Systems (CARS) to enhance aviation cybersecurity using AI, machine learning and data science. CBSI provides students with a unique interdisciplinary environment where they learn from faculty with deep industry expertise and apply classroom knowledge to real-world challenges. Our Cyber Gym Makerspace and Global Security Operations Center continue to expose students to cutting-edge technologies and forward-thinking strategies, ensuring they graduate in high demand and ready to tackle critical global challenges. I’m honored to represent this dynamic college and to share a glimpse into our programs and achievements. I hope you enjoy reading this year’s annual report.
Dear College of Business, Security & Intelligence community, Another academic year has come to a close, marking yet another year of growth, innovation and impact at the nation’s first and only College of Business, Security & Intelligence (CBSI). I’m pleased to share highlights from the 2024- 2025 school year in this annual report. As the dean of CBSI, I have the privilege of watching our exceptional faculty and students push the boundaries of business, cybersecurity, global security and intelligence every day. CBSI students continue to gain hands-on experience that directly impacts the industry. Two cybersecurity students collaborated with the NASA Jet Propulsion Lab to address spacecraft cybersecurity challenges. Others worked alongside local government leaders to conduct a security threat assessment for the Town of Prescott Valley’s water supply and develop a continuity of operations plan for the Prescott Valley Police Department. Additionally, Embry-Riddle business students claimed their 17th consecutive victory at the Future Business Leaders of America Arizona Collegiate State Leadership Conference.
Sincerely,
Thomas G. Drape, Ph.D. Dean
