After your address you will return to your seat and Admiral Roop proceeds

podium. Jim Lucas reads the citation and the registrar
hands the diploma to Admiral Roop and the Doctoral Hood to Dean Lucas who

Audience: You can expect an audience of approximately 450 graduates,
family members, faculty, and distinguished guests. The media is not invited
to cover the event. According to the college, foreign nationals will not be
in the audience.
Background: The combined (for full-time and part-time students)
graduation ceremony is the culmination of nine months of postgraduate studies
for a group of mid-career intelligence professionals from the Services and
other elements of the Intelligence Community. The students are graduating
from three different programs:
o Senior Enlisted Intelligence Program with 20 graduates
representing the military services;
o Post Graduate Intelligence Program with 93 graduates representing
the different military services, DIA, State Department, and NSA;
o Master of Science of Strategic Intelligence with approximately 26
graduates representing the different military services, DIA, State
Department, and NSA.
After graduation most of the military graduates will be assigned to either
their service headquarters or to a specified command as staff intelligence
officers supporting flag officers.
The Defense Intelligence College founded in 1963 and chartered by DOD
directive has over 40,000 military and civilian alumni. In 1980 the college
acquired Congressional approval to award a master's degree and gained academic
accreditation. The mission of the college is to provide joint educational and
training programs to prepare military and civilian intelligence personnel for
positions in the national and international security structure and to assist
in their career development. It also conducts academic research on topics of
significance to present and future intelligence missions.
