Arthur Liberty:  

agement three years ago and just started an executive doctoral program that I hope to finish in 2015. My dissertation will look at the impact of the events of 9/11 on volunteers as force-multipliers to enhance community resilience. My Job Which one? I spent 8 years on active duty in the Navy, worked as a trauma and critical care nurse, was a police officer and federal investigator, a federal trial attorney and prosecutor, private-practice litigator, and federal administrative law judge (including five years as chief judge at HUD and 4 years as an associate chief judge in the Medicare provider appeals system). While in Washington DC with HUD, I volunteered for and was detailed to the September 11 Victims Compensation Fund. I heard appeals of financial awards brought by the families of the 9/11 terrorist attacks for about a year, traveling between DC and NYC. I also became a mission-certified search and rescue pilot as a volunteer gig. I started teaching and designing graduate courses in homeland security and emergency management in 2010 and am an adjunct associate professor. I plan to transition to full-time academia when I finish my doctorate, retiring from the federal government with more than 30 years of service.
