San Jose, CA (PRWeb) February 14, 2007 -- The California University of Protection and Intelligence Management has changed its name to Henley-Putnam University to better reflect its online Bachelors and Masters Degree programs. Students from law enforcement, military, intelligence and private sectors can obtain degrees in Management of Personal Protection, Intelligence Management or Terrorism and Counterterrorism. Thus, to better represent the tradition and innovation of these types of specialties, the University's management team chose the name Henley-Putnam University, named after historical figures Colonel David Henley and General Israel "Don't shoot until you see the whites of their eyes" Putnam.

Greg Von Gehr, CEO of Henley-Putnam University, reveals further thinking behind the name. "This name reflects the true spirit of our school. It allows us to tell an important story - the story of Colonel Henley and General Putnam who were among the first intelligence officers appointed by George Washington during the Revolutionary War. Few people are aware of the vital role that intelligence played in the defeat of the British as led by America's first spymaster, George Washington," he said.

Don't shoot until you see the whites of their eyes
Henley-Putnam University was conceived after more than twelve years of planning and research to contribute to the professional development of protection, intelligence and counterterrorism tradecraft. The founders designed the University to meet the strategic security industry's establishment of higher educational standards - and in keeping with this design, brought on board only faculty with real world experience in their respective fields. According to Nirmalya Bhowmick, the founder and chairman of Henley-Putnam University, "The ultimate purpose of our education and training is to enhance the knowledge of prevention and deterrence for professionals whose primary mission is the protection of human life. It is evident to all that the need for such training is rapidly growing."

The new URL is www.henley-putnam.edu. The old web address (www.cupim.org) will remain in place to direct inquiries to the new site. For additional information, visit our website www.henley-putnam.edu.
