Applications

 Applications are now open to apply for funding from Google to create a student-based cyber cynic at UCONN Stamford.

The UCONN Stamford campus is the perfect fit for a clinic.

Google wants schools to help build a local workforce in diverse underserved communities to help protect hospitals, nonprofits, schools and utilities from cyber-attacks.

They will provide funding of up to $1 million dollars per school.

We have been reaching out to local non-profits in the area for participation.

Currently, Google does not have any clinics in CT with the last one funded at Columbia.

Building More Secure and Trustworthy Systems Columbia is one of four universities in New York working with Google to expand cybersecurity research projects, training, and education. www.engineering.columbia.edu

The clinic that we are looking to build is the student model.

For decades, schools of law and medicine have operated “clinics,” where students work with real-world clients with limited resources and gain valuable hands-on experience.

Now, the “clinic” model has been adapted for the field of cybersecurity. University-based cybersecurity clinics train students from diverse backgrounds and academic expertise to strengthen the digital defenses of non-profits, hospitals, municipalities, small businesses, and other under-resourced organizations in our communities, while also developing a talent pipeline for cyber civil defense.

This is a fantastic opportunity for our campus, community and students.
