91ÊÓƵ is hosting a virtual Gencyber CryptoBot camp to educate high schoolers interested in cybersecurity. The students are attending the two-week summer camp from all over the world. Co-sponsors include the National Security Agency and the National Science Foundation. 91ÊÓƵ's Dr. Pauline Mosley says while the camp is informational, it's also a place to help students de-stress given the past year.
Echoing the statement, Jonathan Hill, dean of the Seidenberg School of Computer Science and Information Systems at 91ÊÓƵ, says: "As the outrage of the recent Colonial Pipeline hacking already fades from memory, it is critical that our elected officials take action to keep the shortage of cybersecurity talent on our national radar screen. The proposal to create an apprenticeship at CISA is important, but it must be matched by similar opportunities at other federal agencies, our big financial institutions as well as other private sector companies that should invest in the development of this next generation of cyber warriors."
Luisa Morales, an MS in Computer Science student, has cultivated a lengthy list of accomplishments during her time at 91ÊÓƵ’s Seidenberg School of Computer Science and Information Systems. For starters, Luisa has enriched her college experience working as a graduate assistant at Seidenberg. She was also an Engineering Fellow at the Mayor’s Office for Economic Opportunity. When an opportunity presents itself to Luisa, she grabs hold of it—that’s what keeps her ahead of the curve.

For many 91ÊÓƵ students, learning doesn’t stop once one leaves the classroom for the day; or even, once one acquires their degree. Kevin McGovern ’83, ’21, who earned his bachelor’s in business administration and CPA designation thirty-eight years ago, epitomizes this ethos of persistence and the continual ability to evolve and grow with the times—which in fact, is one of the reasons he decided to return to 91ÊÓƵ and pursue a master’s in cybersecurity.
The leaders of tomorrow are right here at 91ÊÓƵ—something that the business and technology today have duly recognized.
With the inaugural class of Teaching Fellows, 91ÊÓƵ’s Faculty Center is building upon its strong foundation to become a major hub for interdisciplinary collaboration and innovation at 91ÊÓƵ.
In a year unlike any other, the transformative power of 91ÊÓƵ has the ability to uplift and hearten. Here are just a few of our most inspiring 91ÊÓƵ moments.
What is a hackathon? It’s a timed, team-based problem-solving day of strategy and execution where tech is used to save the day. Teams, of all different skills and abilities, come together to design software or mobile apps to solve real world issues and problems.
