Honolulu Community College<\/a> received recognition as a National Center of Academic Excellence in Information Assurance 2-Year Education (CAE2Y<\/abbr>) at the Colloquium for Information Systems Security Education held this summer in Mobile, Alabama. Honolulu CC<\/abbr> is the only college in the state of Â鶹´«Ã½<\/span> to hold this designation, and joins the ranks of 33 other junior and community colleges nationwide.<\/p>\n

“We are honored to receive the CAE2Y<\/abbr> recognition that was given to Honolulu Community College,” shares Sally Dunan<\/strong>, program coordinator for the Computing, Electronics and Networking Technology<\/a> program at Honolulu CC<\/abbr>, who represented the college at the national awards ceremony.<\/p>\n

The CAE2Y<\/abbr> program, jointly sponsored by the National Security Agency<\/a> and the Department of Homeland Security<\/a>, recognizes colleges and universities that have demonstrated a commitment to providing quality information assurance awareness, training and education. The CAE2Y<\/abbr> designation not only provides recognition to the campus, but also opens the door for students to obtain federal scholarships and for the college to attain grant funding.<\/p>\n

Honolulu’s application to become a CAE2Y<\/abbr> was anchored by the Computing, Electronics and Networking Technology program on the credit side and by the Pacific Center for Advanced Technical Training<\/a> on the non-credit side. <\/p>\n

“Going through the process of applying to become a CAE2Y<\/abbr> was a great exercise for the college. It brought awareness that our institution is well equipped to support quality cybersecurity training and be a center of support to the community on cybersecurity issues,” said Professor Aaron Tanaka<\/strong>, technical coordinator for the Computing, Electronics and Networking Technology program. This past summer Honolulu CC<\/abbr> hosted a CyberPatriot boot camp for high school coaches and mentors on the CyberPatriot program and on cybersecurity.<\/p>\n

The Computing, Electronics and Networking Technology program at Honolulu CC<\/abbr> also partnered with the University of Â鶹´«Ã½<\/span>–West Oʻahu<\/span><\/a> to offer a bachelors of applied science in information security assurance. The program was launched in the fall 2013 semester with information security courses being offered at both campuses.<\/p>\n
