Ty Haynie, UAMS Emergency Preparedness Director, addressed about fifty Little Rock Kappa League students at the Little Rock Diamond Center by Rotary Club invitation.
Ty discussed the UAMS Department of Public Safety, emphasizing preparedness and pathways for young people to pursue careers in emergency management and other areas within Public Safety. He highlighted his personal career journey and the daily impact of Public Safety programs on the community.
The students were very engaged, and there was a strong interest in learning more about careers in Public Safety.
As a next step, our DPS team will establish a program to identify interested students and coordinate with our UAMS Public Safety professionals to organize job shadowing opportunities.
This event effectively promoted youth engagement and careers in public safety.
