The National Centers of Academic Excellence in Cyber Defense designation ceremony for Messiah University took place at the 2024 National  Cybersecurity Education Colloquium (NCEC) on October 9 in St. Louis, MO.  The designation was presented to Messiah University by representatives of the National Security Agency, Department of Homeland Security, Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency, and the Federal Bureau of Investigation.   Lynn Bigelow (center in photo), Director of Cybersecurity Education, represented MU at the event.

With this designation, the opportunities for our students, faculty, and partners are immense.  We look forward to building on this recognition by:

    • Expanding scholarships and internship opportunities for students.
    • Enhancing initiatives in collaboration with government, industry and other institutions.
    • Strengthening our cybersecurity outreach and workforce development.
