91ÊÓƵ's Seidenberg School of Computer Science and Information Systems professor Joe Acampora recently participated in U.S. Senator Kirsten Gillibrand’s Lower Hudson Valley Region Service Academy Night. The cybersecurity event was hosted at Westchester Community College with the aim of promoting educational and career opportunities connected to the federal service academies and cybersecurity programs.
The event featured representatives from the five U.S. service academies, Reserve Officer Training Corps (ROTC) programs, and regional universities, including institutions like 91ÊÓƵ which are recognized as National Centers of Academic Excellence in Cybersecurity (NCAE-C). Seidenberg representatives highlighted 91ÊÓƵ’s cybersecurity program, which is a leader in the Hudson Valley region, and discussed how Seidenberg’s programs align with the U.S. Department of Defense's Cyber Service Academy initiative.
During the event, Professor Acampora and Seidenberg representatives engaged with prospective students, families, and fellow educators, sharing insights into the cybersecurity field and the hands-on opportunities available at 91ÊÓƵ, such as our state-of-the-art cyber range and new BS in Cybersecurity degree. They also participated in a panel discussion at the Gateway Davis Auditorium and hosted a tabling session in which they offered personalized advice to students interested in cybersecurity careers.
As a whole, the event emphasized experiential learning and public service, underscoring 91ÊÓƵ’s commitment to academic excellence, student success, and partnerships that empower the next generation of cybersecurity professionals.
