Student Profile: Keeping Exchanges Clear in a Crisis

By APU Edge Staff 06/01/2016

Interview with AMU Alumnus, R. Carter Langston

The following profile is the tenth in a series of student profiles of our students and alumni at the university.

Job title: Public Affairs Supervisor, U.S. Customs and Border Protection

Degree earned: M.A. in Emergency and Disaster Management, 2016, American Military University

What have you been doing since earning your degree at AMU?

Since I earned my degree, I have enjoyed spending more time with my family. I also network with colleagues within the public affairs community and accept more of the leadership opportunities available in public affairs, strategic communication and outreach.

What led you to choose a master’s degree with AMU?

In 2005, I completed a two-year program to earn the International Association of Business Communicator’s ‘Accreditation in Business Communication’ designation. Since that peer-awarded designation provided me with functional credibility, I sought a master’s degree program that provided complementary operational skills. AMU and its emergency and disaster management program caught my interest because of the program’s flexibility and the necessary operational element of communication before, during and after a crisis.
