Summit Materials

In an effort to be environmentally responsible, the Science and Technology Directorate is “going green” by providing limited hard copy materials for the 5th Annual DHS University Network Summit. The Office of University Programs would like attendees to assist in the “going green” efforts by printing only materials that are of interest to them, rather than the entire Summit program book. Your cooperation in preserving the future is greatly appreciated.

The Summit Speaker Presentations and COE Facts Sheets below are in Portable Document Format (PDF) format. Adobe Reader is necessary to view PDF files on this site. If you don't have the latest version of Reader, you can download a free copy at the Adobe download site.
