Abstract

Loyola University Chicago received a grant for $25,000 from the Motorola Solutions Foundation, the charitable arm of Motorola Solutions, to support the Cybersecurity Experiential Scholars Program within the College of Arts and Sciences. Through this grant, Loyola supported five undergraduate students as they study, perform research, and explore potential careers in cybersecurity with faculty in Loyola’s Department of Computer Science and the Center for Cybersecurity and Privacy. Loyola’s cybersecurity program earned designation in 2020 as a National Security Agency / Department of Homeland Security National Center of Academic Excellence in Cyber Defense Education through 2025. “Cybersecurity is a critical aspect everywhere; to excel in this area requires an experiential learning program such as participating in cybersecurity competitions”, says Dr. Eric Chan-Tin, Associate Professor of Computer Science and Lead for the Center for Cybersecurity & Privacy. “We are excited to continue our partnerships with Motorola Solutions Foundation to educate our students.” The goal of the Cybersecurity Experiential Scholars Program is to provide a group of students a space to learn and develop their skills together through Cyber Competitions.
