I’m happy to endorse the Center for Intelligence Research, Analysis, and Training (CIRAT) program at Mercyhurst University. Our partnership with CIRAT has been instrumental in our efforts to inform and educate the public about the complexities of information protection in the current landscape.

At Dagostino Electronic Services, we love that CIRAT’s curriculum is focused on the real-world, testing each strategy and tactic in real scenarios. Additionally, I like that their focus covers both cyber intelligence and risk analysis, so there is a “big picture” quality to their approach.

I strongly recommend CIRAT to aspiring professionals and also to underfunded / understaffed organizations seeking a top-tier partner in these increasingly important fields.

This initiative is the first of its kind in analysis and intelligence.
Due to the staggering amounts of information available to decision makers, the CIRAT BI² Lab is a needed resource and provides an opportunity to develop actionable, decision-making capabilities for senior executives in the private sector.

My journey with the Center for Intelligence Research, Analysis, and Training at Mercyhurst Univeristy was greatly insightful and transformative. The various CIRAT projects allowed me, as a student, to build a strong network of exceptional professionals in their field. This networking combined with the experienced leadership, provided excellent mentoring that has translated into my current position. The CIRAT program provides invaluable opportunities to develop leadership, communication, analytical, and writing skills, all while working within a team dynamic. CIRAT’s commitment to excellence and its focus on real-world applications have not only prepared me for the challenges of a career within the intelligence community but have also instilled in me a sense of confidence and readiness. I am thankful for the opportunities and experiences provided by the Mercyhurst Center for Intelligence Research, Analysis and Training, and recommend it to anyone aspiring to excel at Mercyhurst University and in the intelligence community.
