three small conference rooms, including one outfitted for active learning and video- and tele- <br />conferencing, and Office of Information and Technology's AIRB training lab (that includes 1 <br />instructor and 20 student stations that are Dell OptiPlex 9020, 24" monitor, intel core i7, 8gb <br />RAM, Intel Graphics, CD-FW, 256GB SSD.

All core faculty have earned professional graduate <br />degrees, either a quintessential doctoral research degree, (i.e. PhD, .SeD, DPhil) or a <br />professional practice degree (DrPH).
