**PARTICIPANT PROFILE**

**EMMANUEL N. A. TETTEH**

Emmanuel Tetteh is an adjunct professor in the Graduate School of Public
Affairs & Administration at Metropolitan College of New York (MCNY). He
is also an adjunct professor in the Sociology Department of the
College of New Rochelle, the DC 37 campus in Manhattan, and currently
teaches a course entitled "Principles of Political Economics." He also
served as assistant to the vice president for student finances in the
management of students' financial services and coordination of campus
security system management at MCNY. Also, in recent months, he
established a nonprofit research organization
[*[http://www.cfcpr.org]{.underline}*](http://www.cfcpr.org/), dedicated
to the advancement of scientific and educational literary purposes in
democratic learning, service-learning, security and enrollment
management in higher education toward civically engaged citizenry for
democratic governance.

As a product of performance-based learning at MCNY, he maintained
assiduousness to higher learning, and graduated with the highest
distinction in both the Baccalaureate and Master's degree programs.
Interestingly, his performance-based Constructive Action research and
documentations (Theses) were accorded the exemplification of the
College's model for utilizing theoretical framework to address social
concerns. For this, his Theses served as paradigms of performance-based
learning models and instructional tools for student practitioners.

Emmanuel Tetteh is an advanced doctoral student, currently at the
dissertation proposal/research stage of his Ph.D. program in Public
Policy & Administration at Walden University. As an outgrowth of his
learning experiences at Walden, he published an extended version of one
of his coursework research projects---*Theories of Democratic Governance
in the Institutions of Higher Education* by iUniverse Publishing
Services in May 2004. The book reflects an Advanced Knowledge Area
Module (KAM) Number V, an expository/derivative research project in
which he demonstrated higher level of critical analysis, synthesis,
evaluation, and integration of theoretical knowledge. The book provides
interesting exposition for administrators in higher education,
enrollment management, and service-learners who would like to know more
about the tenets of democratic governance in higher education
administration that can guide the administrative decision-making process
to foster societal security management. Thus, it addresses the role that
institutions of higher education should have in contributing to
society's social conduct to ensure homeland security by redirecting
their academic programs.

**REASONS FOR ATTENDING EMI CONFERENCE**

Emmanuel Tetteh has enormous research interests and of the teaching
disciplines in the security management of democratic society. More
importantly, he hopes that the conference will add credence to his
dissertation research, which is based on heuristic study of
service-learners' lived experiences in the security/emergency management
of civic society. For this reason, he even participated in the 2004 and
2005 Disaster Preparedness Summit/SAFE (Supporting Actions for
Engagement) Civic Initiative Workshop of the League for Innovation in
the Community College Conference in San Francisco, California & New York
City respectively. He can be contacted at 718-682-1224 or 212-343-1234,
