Northrop Grumman Foundation and University of Maryland, Baltimore County Create New Cyber Scholars Program Contact: Margaret Mitchell-Jones Northrop Grumman Corporation 703-280-2739 m.mitchell-jones@ngc.com Contact: Nicole Ruediger University of Maryland, Baltimore County 410-455-5791 nruediger@umbc.edu BALTIMORE – Oct. 17, 2012 -- The University of Maryland, Baltimore County (UMBC) and the Northrop Grumman Foundation today announced they are partnering to launch the UMBC Cyber Scholars program, which is to be housed in the university’s new Cybersecurity Center, and run in partnership with the UMBC Center for Women in Technology. This new initiative is an extension of an already-strong partnership in cyber-related activities that has developed between UMBC, the foundation and Northrop Grumman, and includes the Cync program, a start-up business incubator dedicated to cultivating companies that develop innovative solutions to counter the global cyber threat. The Northrop Grumman Foundation will provide a $1 million grant to launch the Cyber Scholars program, which will begin Jan. 1, 2013. “Northrop Grumman is proud to support education programs that will develop tomorrow’s cyber leaders,” said Wes Bush, chairman, chief executive officer and president of Northrop Grumman. “Innovative partnerships like the Cyber Scholars program will further our nation’s strategic objective to build a broad pipeline of qualified cyber professionals. I am very pleased the foundation is partnering with UMBC on this important initiative.” “The Northrop Grumman Foundation is dedicated to supporting education initiatives that advance the goal of expanding science, technology, engineering and mathematics curricula, from very young students through university level,” said Sandra Evers-Manly, president of the Northrop Grumman Foundation. “The foundation is very excited to support UMBC on this important educational investment, especially as it will create a living/learning community of diverse UMBC students majoring in technological fields.” The program is being created in response to the U.S. Department of Homeland Security’s call to action regarding the shortage of trained and certified cybersecurity personnel. The program will recruit 15 to 20 new scholars annually, with special emphasis on increasing the number of women and underrepresented minorities who are being prepared for cyber security careers. The new scholars program will, in many ways, be modeled on the scholars program run by UMBC’s Center for Women and Information Technology (CWIT). “This partnership will accelerate our efforts to meet critical workforce needs in cybersecurity," says Freeman Hrabowski, president of UMBC. "The Cyber Scholars program will help us attract and prepare students from diverse backgrounds for careers in a field that is vital to our nation's security." "Cybersecurity presents a tremendous challenge but also a tremendous opportunity for Maryland, which is home to many federal agencies, technology firms and leading universities. In Maryland, cybersecurity means more jobs and fewer taxes but we must prepare a pipeline of qualified workers if we want to seize the opportunity,” said Rep. C.A. Dutch Ruppersberger (D-2nd). “This partnership between UMBC and Northrop Grumman will help arm today's students with the skills they will need to secure tomorrow's jobs." Anupam Joshi, director of UMBC’s new Cybersecurity Center and the Cyber Scholars program agreed. “Cybersecurity is of critical national importance, since computer systems are part of the nation’s critical infrastructure,” he said. “But students often don’t understand the field and women are particularly likely to see it as a bad fit for them. The scholars program gives us a chance to change that perception and show how rewarding and socially important this work can be.” The Cyber Scholars will receive financial awards with special opportunities for advanced research, directed internships and other forms of academic and social support. The scholars will take a combination of management-oriented and technically focused courses. All students will be required to take an introductory seminar in their freshman year and at least one cybersecurity course as juniors. Students will be assigned to faculty advisors with a research interest in cybersecurity, and upperclassmen will have the opportunity to customize their course schedules to best meet the needs of their career interests. “We know from our experience in CWIT that early exposure to cybersecurity challenges and mentoring by faculty helps students develop an deep interest in the field, increases their motivation to persist and improves retention,” said Penny Rheingans, director of CWIT. “Connections to a supportive peer group and strong mentors are particularly important for students from underrepresented groups who may otherwise lack a sense of belonging in the discipline.” Northrop Grumman has served on the Homeland Security Advisory Council Task Force on Cyber Skills that recently provided recommendations to Department of Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano aimed at improving the department’s ability to build a world-class cybersecurity team and a strong pipeline for the future. Programs such as Cyber Scholars are examples of the type of innovative partnerships between industry and universities that can expand the pipeline of highly qualified candidates for technical mission-critical jobs. UMBC combines the emphasis on teaching found at the best liberal arts colleges with the innovation of a research university. UMBC’s 13,000 undergraduate and graduate students come from more than 150 countries and take full advantage of the educational, business, cultural and recreational resources of Baltimore and Washington, D.C. UMBC students work alongside faculty who are leaders in their fields; think about the hard questions of society, science and creative expression; and then move beyond the classroom to make a difference. The Carnegie Foundation ranks UMBC in the category of universities with high research activity. UMBC is a member of the University System of Maryland and is accredited by the Middle States Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools.

To some, tonight’s presidential debate could be summed up by this tweet from film critic Bildge Ebiri:

OBAMA: ”I passed a law allowing women to get equal pay.”

ROMNEY: “I hired women once.”

STEIN: “I’m in jail.” 

The Green Party presidential candidate Jill Stein and her running mate, Cheri Honkala, were arrested this afternoon after persistently attempting to enter the location of the third presidential debate at Hofstra University. No, they were not sign-wielding, chant-shouting activists — they were just two women who reasoned that, since they are appearing as candidates on 85% of state ballots next month, they should be able to participate in the debate process.

However, the policeman at the scene reasoned that Stein and Honkala were disobedient protesters who should be arrested after ignoring instructions to remove themselves and stop blocking traffic.

Here is the video of the scene, recorded by The Long Island Report.

So, is this a complicated matter of unfairness in the American democracy, or is this a simple matter of civil disobedience and repercussion?

Stein called the debate a “mockery of democracy” because of the Commission on Presidential Debates’ unwillingness to let all the candidates speak.

She said during a quasi-press conference before her arrest, 

“If you have done the work to get on the ballot, if you are on the ballot and could actually win the electoral college by being on the ballot in enough states, then you deserve to be in the election and you deserve to be heard. The American people deserve to hear choices which are not bought and paid for by multinational corporations and Wall Street. This is why we are not hearing the critical issues in this debate.”

 The CPD  has a rule declaring that candidates “must have at least 15 percent support in public opinion based on the average of five national polls in order to participate.”

But this threshold is now making it virtually impossible for a third party candidate to join in the Presidential debates. Perhaps the standards of admition should be lowered to allow good people like Stein and Hokala on stage.

What do you think about these “debate crashers?”  Is the minimum public opinion poll percentage too high? Or, was the arrest of Stein and Honkala completely justified because of their deliberate disobedience with police officials?

Blackboard Admin usually sets a course duration to extend 3-4 weeks after exams end. After that date, students should not see the course unless the instructor has changed the date. If a student can still see a Blackboard course Web site from a previous semester, the student needs to contact the instructor and ask him/her to make it unavailable.

Students should keep in mind that if another student from the same class has an incomplete grade, the instructor may be required to keep the Blackboard course Web site available to the entire class for as long as the instructor feels it is necessary.

Note: Students and Faculty may also hide the link for the Blackboard course Web site by editing the My Courses module and removing the check mark for the class.

  1. Click the edit My Courses module button (gear icon) - see image below - located on the upper right corner of the My Blackboard page
  2. Remove the check mark in the Display Course Name column for each class that you do not want to display
  3. Click the Submit button
