The University is reshaping its role in national defense\u2014an evolution decades in the making and now formalized under a single, determined office. With this year\u2019s launch of National Defense Initiatives<\/a> (NDI), KU is uniting military-focused research, education and service in a way that few public institutions have dared. Leading the charge is Mike Denning, a retired Marine colonel as adept at coordinating helicopter squadrons as he is at fine-tuning the University\u2019s support for the nation\u2019s defense community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Denning, c\u201983, assistant vice chancellor for national defense initiatives, leads NDI with a mandate that\u2019s both strategic and personal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cJayhawks Rising<\/a>, the University\u2019s strategic plan, was the driving force behind the new office,\u201d Denning says. \u201cWe came together to conceive how the office can better support the University\u2019s strategic priorities. Now we have the structure to better support these priorities while advancing our support to the military.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Formed by consolidating Denning\u2019s former KU office, Graduate Military Programs, with KU\u2019s Army, Navy and Air Force ROTC departments, NDI resides within the Office of Academic Affairs. The move is more than a bureaucratic realignment\u2014it\u2019s KU\u2019s declaration that national security education and research are vital.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThis restructuring, which includes bringing KU ROTC programs under NDI, creates a powerful synergy and a single point of contact for the Department of Defense,\u201d says Senior Vice Provost for Academic Affairs Jen Roberts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It also sends a message: KU is not simply participating in defense education; KU is helping define it for the next generation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Denning\u2019s own journey makes him an ideal steward of that mission. A retired Marine colonel who joined KU in 2011, Denning brings decades of command experience and a strategic mind shaped by both war and academia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He flew AH-1 Cobra attack helicopters and led the Marine Corps\u2019 V-22 Osprey training program. He also holds a degree from the Naval War College and completed a national security fellowship at Harvard University\u2019s Kennedy School of Government, and his experience as a military officer informs his sense of purpose in higher education.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cDeveloping future officers who are educated, fit, and men and women of character isn\u2019t a bonus\u2014it\u2019s mission-essential,\u201d Denning says. \u201cWhen I was a squadron commander on a 48-hour deployment tether, every ounce of readiness mattered. That kind of readiness starts long before someone dons the uniform.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The new office\u2019s scope is intentionally broad. It facilitates undergraduate and graduate programs for ROTC cadets, active-duty officers and veterans alike. It supports online learners stationed around the globe\u2014including those taking KU\u2019s popular Homeland Security course from active combat zones.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At Fort Leavenworth, KU offers seven graduate degree programs\u2014up from just two when Denning arrived. Meanwhile, the Intelligence Community Center for Academic Excellence<\/a>, launched in 2017 under his leadership, continues to flourish. The consortium includes four regional community colleges and five degree programs at KU\u2019s Edwards Campus, with emphases ranging from cybersecurity and information technology to criminal justice and health sciences.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe\u2019re not just filling seats,\u201d Denning says. \u201cWe\u2019re preparing the next generation of intelligence professionals and officers with the depth and breadth they\u2019ll need to meet tomorrow\u2019s threats.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

NDI isn\u2019t only about education. A key pillar is research, and Denning in 2024 enlisted Kurt Preston, a 20-year veteran of the Department of Defense research enterprise, to elevate KU\u2019s national profile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since Preston\u2019s hiring as director of National Defense Research Initiatives, KU has hosted multiple Pentagon research leaders and sent faculty to DOD labs across the country. The office also signed a memorandum of understanding with U.S. Cyber Command, leveraging KU\u2019s growing strength in radar and cybersecurity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cEvery discipline has a role to play in Department of Defense research,\u201d Denning says. \u201cMost people don\u2019t realize the DOD is one of the largest funders of medical research, including cancer and autism studies. Our job is to connect KU\u2019s research excellence with DOD priorities.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For Denning, who also serves as president of KU Alumni\u2019s Veterans Alumni Network<\/a>, NDI isn\u2019t about dollars or prestige. It\u2019s about service.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cYes, there\u2019s funding involved, but the bigger story is our obligation to the nation,\u201d he says. \u201cWe\u2019re a public institution. We have an obligation to contribute to national security through education, research and service. That\u2019s integral to our identity.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
