IGKNU
Integrated Global Knowledge & Understanding Collaboaration Subject Guide
The IGKNU was founded by a grant from the Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI), under the Intelligence Community Centers of Academic Excellence (IC CAE) program, implemented to more broadly educate university students for national security and intelligence professions. The CAE funds a rich constellation of curricular and extra-curricular endeavors that make up the Global Security Studies and Leadership (GSSL) program. Part of the grant also goes to the UTPA Library to create a collection to help support this program. The IGKNU collection is physically located on the third floor of the library in room 310. It contains numerous books and over half a dozen periodicals dedicated to security as well as intelligence issues.
