A Wind of Change USGIF DIRECTOR OF ACADEMIC PROGRAMS DR. CAMELIA KANTOR ON THE FOUNDATION’S RECENT ACADEMIC ACCOMPLISHMENTS AND UPCOMING GOALS By Lindsay Tilton Mitchell

r. Camelia Kantor, USGIF’s director of academic programs, joined the Foundation in July 2017 from Claflin University in Orangeburg, S.C. In less than 10 months, Kantor has forged D many new partnerships and initiatives for the Foundation. In this interview, Kantor reflects on her first year so far and looks toward future goals.

What were some major highlights in your first year with USGIF? My first year with USGIF can be described by the Hugh Prather quote: “Just when I think I have learned the way to live, life changes.” It’s been a journey! When I accepted this position, I was a tenured faculty, my house was paid for, and I was engaged in an active Romanian commu- nity in Columbia, S.C. Then I moved here and started all over with my husband and daughter. I think the most important achievement from my first year at USGIF has been managing the daily exchanges and communication with individuals from across the GEOINT enterprise without much prior exposure to it. I am an academic, so there were times when I would sit in meetings and not understand many of the defense and intelligence In February, USGIF’s Dr. Camelia Kantor gave a lightning talk titled the “Power and Potential acronyms, but strove to make sense of the communication based on the of GEOINT” at the USC Spatial Science Institute’s LA Geospatial Summit. context. But I am a quick learner and, while I am still learning, I now feel confident in my capacity to contribute to the discussion. Another highlight of my first year is the realization of the important “As an educational nonprofit, USGIF relies role USGIF plays in the community, and that we have the support of a on our dedicated members, partners, significant number of volunteers who help us advance the GEOINT tradecraft. And, I see a lot of potential for the Foundation’s role to be and volunteers to help us achieve such even more significant. Volunteer support has allowed my colleagues and advancements and successes.” I to form a number of new industry partnerships. In the past year, we —DR.

A Wind of Change continued from cover have added two new scholarships; improved our selection process for USGIF’s State and Future of GEOINT Report and scholarship program; and rethought the formatting of our GEOINT Essential Body of Knowledge (EBK) and accreditation process. In addition, we increased the vis- ibility of GEOINT Symposium lightning talks, and this year will introduce a dedicated stage for them at the Innovation Corner (Booth 1751) in the exhibit hall.

What’s in store for the future of USGIF’s Collegiate Accreditation Program? The Foundation’s accreditation program is my primary focus, and I strive to make the accreditation process both rigorous and flexible enough to allow for market changes. We just published our 2018 Accreditation Guidelines that replace those created in 2013. The revisions to the stan- dards represent substantive improvements and mirror best practices from accrediting organizations, while reflecting best practices and the needs of the GEOINT Community. We are now using USGIF’s GEOINT EBK as a core inte- grator and organizer of GEOINT education from academia USGIF’s Dr. Camelia Kantor presents the U.S. Air Force Academy’s certificate of re-accreditation to to the professional world. USGIF accreditation provides Dean of Faculty Brig. Gen. Andrew P. Armacost. a pathway for growth as well as a mechanism to address programs that no longer comply with the standards. As GEOINT has our dedicated members, partners, and volunteers—which aren’t mutually matured and evolved, so has USGIF’s Collegiate Accreditation Program. exclusive—to help us achieve such advancements and successes. I am hopeful that the GEOINT Community, especially those interested in hiring GEOINTers, will appreciate and recognize the value of students What can GEOINT 2018 attendees expect to see from graduating from our rigorously evaluated programs. academia this week?
