Thank you for your support:
Carolyn and Ed Vasko have established a fellowship in Terra Verde's name for the ASU West NCUIRE program that aligns students with professors to work on real-world application of their classroom learning.
“I knew that there would be an increasing shortage of trained cybersecurity professionals in the market place. And because of my involvement with ASU’s West campus, I saw the possibility of the NCUIRE program. So, my wife and I bridged the industry demand with the opportunities being provided by NCUIRE and decided to establish this fellowship program. We wanted to provide students the opportunity to learn alongside ASU West’s Applied Computing faculty on projects that are relevant to the cybersecurity market. Once these projects are completed, we try to provide on-going internships and career opportunities to these NCUIRE fellows.”
-Ed Vasko, CEO
Research Symposium Award Winners
NCUIRE, the program that fosters original research projects between undergraduates and faculty mentors, is proud to announce the 2021 awards for best posters. Twenty six posters were displayed at the annual research symposium. The judges were impressed by every submission and deciding on the best posters was difficult. All participants should be proud of their work and the faculty mentors deserve a round of applause as well. NCUIRE offers two types of conference awards, one based the evaluations of New College professors and one based on student impressions. As an organizer of this event, I am especially thankful of all of the judges who added their insights and the dedicated work of Jaime Alvarez, Ruth Dempsey, Kara Glaser, Stacey Kimbell, and Carolyn Starr.
Sincerely,
Eric Swank
Associate Director of NCUIRE
