Establishing the Information Assurance Student Pipeline Through Community College Outreach

该项目旨在增加学习信息保障和从事该领域工作的本科生人数。该项目由佩斯大学牵头，并与四所合作学院合作：纽约州立大学-罗克兰社区学院、纽约州立大学-威彻斯特社区学院、纽约城市大学-纽约城市理工学院和纽约城市大学-曼哈顿区社区学院，其中后两所是少数族裔服务机构。为教师和学生设计的一系列活动促进了参与机构之间的合作，吸引学生学习信息保障，并为教师提供了在信息保障领域的发展机会。这些活动包括学生信息保障研讨会、学生/教师合作研究小组、社区学院/大学教师合作工作组和教师发展研讨会。该项目通过向社区学院拓展，扩大了佩斯大学信息保障专业的学生渠道。此外，这种伙伴关系正在建立、实施和评估这些道路所需的基础设施，从而为其他学校提供一个可采用的参考模型。该项目的总体影响是产生更多、准备更充分的信息保障专业人员。

This project aims at increasing the number of undergraduate students studying information assurance and pursuing careers in the field. The project is led by Pace University and collaborates with four partner colleges: State University of New York - Rockland Community College, State University of New York - Westchester Community College, City University of New York - New York City College of Technology, and City University of New York - Borough of Manhattan Community College, of which the latter two are minority serving institutions. A set of activities designed for both faculty and students fosters collaboration among the participating institutions, attracts students to study information assurance, and provides faculty with development opportunities in the information assurance area. These activities include student information assurance workshops, collaborative student/faculty research teams, a community college/university faculty collaborative working group and faculty development workshops.The project is expanding the information assurance student pipeline at Pace University through outreach to community colleges. In addition, this partnership is establishing, implementing and evaluating the infrastructure needed for such pathways, and thus is providing a reference model which can be adopted by other schools. The overall impact of the project is to produce more and better prepared information assurance professionals.
