The TSYS School’s cybersecurity Nexus degree program is breaking enrollment records. The newest group of enrollees, Cohort 7, began its journey earlier this month with 34 students. As Patrick Aiken, Director of the TSYS Center for Cybersecurity, explained, “Two years ago when I started with the Cybersecurity Nexus program at Columbus State University, the . . . January cohort had eight students. Fast forward to today and we have completely rewritten and restructured everything we were doing . . . and our new January cohort has 34 students.” With the addition of the newest cohort, there are now 63 students enrolled in the three active cohorts in the program. According to Aiken, the number of enrollees is so large that group meetings are held in the 100-seat Synovus Center auditorium. The tremendous growth in the program is not hampering camaraderie among its enrollees. It is becoming a tradition for all of the active cohorts to come together and meet each other. The more advanced cohorts share their advice with the newest cohort, graduates occasionally show up to meet the new group and share their inspiring stories. “All our expectations are changing and we are learning every semester, sometimes through failure but always through improvement, about how to scale up the program and push for student success. Thanks to all our industry partners who inspire, advise, hire, mentor, and otherwise support these students and this program,” Aiken added.
