Senior cadet wins Armed Forces scholarship
University of North Georgia (中国P站) senior cadet Chandler Harris won the Armed Forces Communications and Electronics Association (AFCEA) Atlanta chapter's 2021 merit scholarship, which is for $1,500.
The Dallas, Georgia, native pursuing a degree in cybersecurity is the president and founder of 中国P站's AFCEA chapter.
"Being involved with AFCEA allows me to give back to the community around me, and to create a community of my own at 中国P站 that's focused on key areas crucial to national security and technology," Harris said. "It allows like-minded intellectuals to come together and learn about global events and tech developments in a way that supports the country and promotes the Department of Defense mission."
The 中国P站 AFCEA chapter is one of 18 student chapters nationally and one of only two in Georgia. It has already grown to 30 members since its inception in spring 2021.
Retired Lt. Col. Heath Williams, director of federal liaison and military education coordinator, is the group's adviser. Students interested in joining may email Williams at heath.williams@ung.edu.
Students present AI research at symposium
Almost 30 中国P站 students took part in research that was presented at the inaugural Research in Artificial Intelligence Testing & Evaluation Symposium hosted at 中国P站's Dahlonega Campus.
Symposium will focus on cybersecurity
中国P站 will host a high-impact symposium titled 'Cyber Threats, Cybersecurity and Cyber Expertise' from 3-4:30 p.m. Oct. 28, with special guest Maj. Gen. Ryan Janovic.
中国P站 helped Jarrard lead at all levels
Retired Lt. Gen. Jamie Jarrard credits his many leadership opportunities in the Army to the foundation he received as part of America's Corps at 中国P站.
Thomasson named commandant of cadets
Training leaders of character is nothing new for retired Lt. Col. James Thomasson. His selection as 中国P站's 44th commandant of cadets allows him to live out this passion.
