Building information assurance education partnerships with minority institutions

Published:01 April 2009Publication History

ABSTRACT

This paper describes our successful leveraging of the National Security Agency/Department of Homeland Security Center of Academic Excellence in Information Assurance program and Auburn University's highly successful partnership with three (Historically Black College and Universities (HBCU)) universities through the National Science Foundation's Scholarship for Service Program. This paper will describe this ongoing and highly successful program that has been publicly praised by the National Science Foundation as "a model for innovative collaboration and community building. It demonstrates how majority institutions and minority serving institutions can effectively build mutually beneficial partnerships which will increase diversity in the information assurance community."
