DHS Announces The 2015 Cyber Student Volunteer Initiative
The Department of Homeland Security announced the launch of the 2015 Secretary's Honors Program Cyber Student Volunteer Initiative for current two- and four-year college students. Beginning in the spring of 2015, more than 75 selected students will complete volunteer assignments supporting the DHS cyber mission at department field offices in over 50 locations across the country.
"The DHS mission in cybersecurity offers opportunities for the best and brightest of our nation's cybersecurity talent," said Deputy Secretary of Homeland Security Alejandro Mayorkas. "Through the Department’s Cyber Student Volunteer Initiative, students gain firsthand experience in applying their skills directly to our wide-ranging efforts -- from helping to defend the Nation’s cyber networks against attacks to going after criminals who exploit innocent members of the public."
