Come out to All Star Sports Bar & Grill on October 23rd to Support CIS Students in Need
The Top Secret Colonials will be hosting an event at All Star Sports Bar & Grill in Robinson Township (6302 Robinson Centre Drive, Pittsburgh, PA 15205) in support of the Craig Paullet Making a Difference Scholarship fund. Dr. Karen Paullet’s family started this fund in her brother’s name to help students in need that are majoring in cyber or computing fields at RMU.
This fundraising event will be held on Sunday, October 23rd, and all proceeds of sales at the restaurant will go to the scholarship fund. All are welcome to stop by for a drink or a meal from opening to close to help raise money for students that are struggling to afford their education in a CIS related degree.

Dr. Ping Wang Receives Grant from the U.S. Department of Defense
Congratulations to Dr. Ping Wang!
The Computer Information Systems (CIS) Department has received a new grant from the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) Cyber Scholarship Program (CySP). This grant is to recruit and develop cyber talent for the DoD cyber workforce and to enhance the national pipeline for qualified cyber professionals. The grant will support one selected CySP student scholar and faculty research on cybersecurity education and mentoring. The selected CySP student scholar will receive support to cover full tuition and fees, a living stipend, a laptop computer, and textbook allowance. Students graduating from the CySP program will be placed and serve in professional positions of cybersecurity within DoD agencies.
This is the second time RMU has received the DoD CySP grant. This award was possible as RMU is designated as a National Center of Academic Excellence in Cyber Defense Education (CAE-CDE) by NSA/DHS. This designation must be in good standing to apply for this competitive grant.
Dr. Ping Wang is the Principal Investigator (PI) of this grant project.
Please join us in congratulating Dr. Wang!
