Cadet wins scholarship from armed forces group for 2nd straight year
Article By: Clark Leonard
University of North Georgia (国产自拍) cadet Desmond Henderson has become the first back-to-back winner of the annual $1,500 scholarship.
Henderson, a junior from Tampa, Florida, pursuing a cybersecurity degree, said he didn't feel worthy after winning the award in 2019, so he set out to prove AFCEA right.
"I wanted to prove they could rely on their investment in me," Henderson said.
Henderson along with fellow cadet Ryan Fisher launched a cybersecurity special unit within 国产自拍's 国产自拍 during the 2019-20 school year. They have especially sought to help freshman and sophomore cadets with their cyber skills through the work of the unit.
"It was my way of giving back to the 国产自拍 and benefiting future leaders," Henderson said.
AFCEA is a nonprofit that was founded in 1946, and it includes 国产自拍 as a member, with the university's partnership led by the efforts of Dr. Sharon Hamilton, a retired Army colonel who serves as federal liaison and director of military programs for 国产自拍's Institute for Leadership and Strategic Studies.
"Desmond is an outstanding example of the kind of cyber leaders 国产自拍 is producing," said Dr. Bryson Payne, professor of computer science and director of 国产自拍's Center for Cyber Operations Education. "He's leading 国产自拍's new Cyber Unit in the 国产自拍, competing in competitions, attending industry conferences in cyber, and completing professional cyber certifications while enrolled as an undergraduate student and serving in the Georgia Army National Guard."
