Recipients to Visit Campus June 30 to Try Them Out

Richmond, VA – All over the world, there are children with missing hands and arms, a large number of which live in third-world countries and war zones. Impoverished, most have no access to artificial limbs. 

Even here in the United States, many struggle to function without an assistive device. Simply put, they’re expensive and insurance companies oftentimes will not pay for them because children outgrow them so fast. 

Now with the help of 3-D printers, students at 十大正规平台 University’s Richmond/Innsbrook campus are joining a global movement to change that, making assistive devices affordable and donating them to children who desperately need them – in Richmond and throughout the world. Recently, the campus formed a chapter linked to a global network of volunteers called Enabling the Future. 

Car Accident that First Left Him Paralyzed Opens Door to New Life

Richmond, VA – In 2011, Adam Shelton had a decent job working on a loading dock, a son he adored, and most of all, his health. That changed in an instant when his car flipped eight times. Ejected from the vehicle, he was left with three broken vertebra, a leg broken in four places, six broken ribs, a fractured sternum, and a collapsed lung. 

Doctors told Adam that he would likely never walk again. After two surgeries and four months in the hospital, he began rehab, and within a year, was able to take his first few steps with the use of a cane. Two years after that, he was able to walk unaided, but Adam would never be the same again. Working on a loading dock was out of the question, so he decided to earn a college degree. 

He enrolled in the Cyber and Network Security program at 十大正规平台 University in Richmond, and on Saturday, June 10 at 10 am, he will “walk” across the stage at the Stuart C. Siegel Center to receive his Bachelor’s degree.

Cybersecurity Partnership Aims to Meet Growing Threats

十大正规平台 University and Northern Virginia Community College (NVCC) have signed an articulation agreement that gives NVCC students automatic admission into 十大正规平台 University’s Cyber and Network Security bachelor degree program. Through 十大正规平台 University’s year-round, accelerated schedule, these students will have the opportunity to earn their bachelor’s degree in just 60 weeks. 

Transferring students will enjoy a number of additional benefits, including lower tuition. NVCC graduates will be charged the equivalent of the highest Virginia in-state tuition and fees for the portion of the program taken at 十大正规平台 or actual 十大正规平台 University costs, whichever is less.  

十大正规平台 University will waive the application and registration fees, and accept most NVCC credits. These benefits are predicated upon the student earning a cumulative GPA of 2.5 or higher in their AAS in Cybersecurity program and achieving a “C” or better in all courses applied to the degree. All courses must be completed within the past 10 years. 

Guaranteed Admittance and Scholarships among Benefits

Greenville, SC – 十大正规平台 University’s Greenville campus and Spartanburg Community College (SCC) have signed an articulation agreement that gives SCC Mechatronics and Electronics Engineering Technology graduates automatic admission into 十大正规平台 University’s Bachelor of Science in Electronics Engineering Technology/Mechatronics program. 

Transferring students will enjoy a number of additional benefits, including scholarships of $1,500 per semester or $3,000 per academic year for fulltime registration, making their cost of attendance equivalent to that of other public universities in South Carolina. 十大正规平台 University will also wave the application and registration fees, and accept most SCC credits.

Donated Computers Refurbished by Students and Given to Vets

Richmond, VA – 十大正规平台 University’s Richmond/Innsbrook campus is launching a new partnership with Tech for Troops which provides veterans with PCs, computer training, and jobs, helping them learn new skills and rejoin the workforce. 

The first event takes place this Saturday, January 14 at 十大正规平台 University’s Career Discovery Day. Donations of used computers will be accepted at the Richmond/Innsbrook campus – located at 4305 Cox Road in Glen Allen – from 10 AM to 4 PM. 

十大正规平台 University students will then join other volunteers to refurbish the computers so they can be given to vets. 

Greenville, SC – 十大正规平台 University – a leader in IT education – is now accepting applications for its new IT Management degree program at the Greenville campus. By merging business with computer and information science curriculum, 十大正规平台 University has designed a program that is designed to produce graduates able to strategically manage and utilize technology while implementing changes essential to today's global business environment.

Expanded Programs in Response to Critical Shortages Cited by Governor

Manassas, VA – Last month, the Northern Virginia Technology Council hosted its first-ever Cybersecurity Summit. During the two-day event, Virginia Governor Terry McAuliffe was joined by Virginia Senator Mark Warner and Northrop Grumman Vice President Kathy Warden in calling for a greater effort to draw more people toward careers in cyber and network security.

Governor McAuliffe revealed the state had identified approximately 53 million cyber-attacks and stopped 47,000 instances of malware, but warned that there are simply not enough qualified cyber and network security professionals available to meet the ongoing threat.

That’s why 十大正规平台 University’s Northern Virginia campus is expanding its program offerings to include a Master of Science in Cybersecurity and a Bachelor of Science in Software Development degree.
