"The Executive Board of the JSU IAEM student chapter, under the guidance of Dr. Olson, has worked exceptionally hard over the past year conducting numerous activities that brought this prestigious award for the department and Jax State." Noah Maddox, President of the JSU-IAEM Student Chapter, shared his enthusiasm for the chapter's achievements: "The JSU-IAEM Chapter is working hard to prepare our student members for the field of emergency management. This recognition is a confirmation that we are moving in the right direction. The chapter is extremely thankful for the support we have and continue to receive from the Department of Emergency Management and Public Administration, the College of Social and Behavioral Sciences, and all the faculty and staff therein. Without their constant advocacy and guidance, we would not be where we are today." In the chapter's application for the award, Maddox emphasized the chapter's dedication to upholding the IAEM Code of Ethics and Professional Conduct, striving to embody respect, commitment, and professionalism in all endeavors. The chapter's active involvement in academic, professional, and community activities has significantly contributed to its success and recognition as a leader in the field of emergency management.
