FROM THE ARCHIVES

of this amazing foundation, Mercyhurst has the opportunity to remain at the forefront of both education and training when it comes to open-sources intelligence.

With one of the foundations main goals being to provide opportunities for both practitioners and students to grow in their field by providing forums for them to attend, continuing their education in OSINT, and helping them develop their own personal tradecraft on the subject.

They also aim to provide scholarships to students who are partaking in these programs.

One thing is certain, Fuller being named as one of the founders of this incredible foundation only means good things for both the Mercyhurst University Intelligence Program and Fuller himself.

This week in Mercyhurst history, Mercyhurst strengthened its Irish connection with a visit from a special guest. On March 29, 1989, the Lord Mayor of Dublin, Ben Briscoe, visited Mercyhurst for a welcome reception and formal dinner. The visit was a celebration of Mercyhurst’s participation in the Irish American Partnership, a nonprofit organization created in 1986 to engage Irish Americans in the development of Ireland. While in the United States, the Lord Mayor also visited Los Angeles, Denver, Dallas, and over a dozen other major cities throughout the U.S. and Canada. Mercyhurst gave him a strong welcome, hosting a champagne reception and serving a seven-course dinner that was made by hospitality majors.
