Former chief of US Central Command to lead the University of South Florida's new Global and National Security Institute
NMLEA
One of the NMLEA's strategic partners (and stakeholders in it's Maritime Security Accreditation and Digitization Program (MARSEC ADaPt)), the University of South Florida (USF), has announced the creation of the Global and National Security Institute, an initiative designed to further place the state of Florida at the forefront of addressing critical issues facing the nation in sectors such as defense, economic and political security, health and human security and infrastructure and environmental security.
The institute will be led by executive director Kenneth F. "Frank" McKenzie, retired Marine Corps general and former chief of U.S. Central Command, who brings extensive leadership skills and a decades-long military and international security background to the position.
Through the institute, USF is uniquely positioned to support global and national security partnerships, given its academic and research expertise in related fields, combined with proximity to Special Operations Command and Central Command located at MacDill Air Force Base in Tampa Bay, and other military sites across the state.
"The Global and National Security Institute aligns with the University of South Florida's core mission of being in direct service of its communities and addressing regional and national challenges," USF President Rhea Law said. "I am pleased to announce the appointment of Gen. McKenzie as its executive director. Through the work of the institute, he will play a critical role in creating partnerships to build a prosperous and sustainable future for our regional communities, the state of Florida and beyond while building upon the university's long-standing commitment to veterans."
