Center of Academic Excellence (CAE) in Information Assurance and Cyber Defense Workshops

As many of you know, NSA & DHS are updating the academic requirements for the Center of Academic Excellence (CAE) program. The 3rd workshop was conducted on Feb. 15 in Las Vegas to develop the Knowledge Units (KUs) for the CAE in Information Assurance and Cyber Defense program.

There was no community college representation at this workshop. 

Other dates and locations for upcoming planning workshops are: San Antonio, TX, 20 February 2013; Atlanta, GA, 22-23 February 2013; and Denver, CO 5 March 2013.

I encourage you, or a representative from your program to attend one of these workshops. The community college voice needs heard in these important discussions.
