Newest Cybersecurity Nexus Cohort Largest Ever

The Turner College welcomes it newest cohort of cybersecurity Nexus students - Cohort 9, the biggest group yet - to campus this fall. "I never imagined the success our students would have in this 12-month rapid training program. [I a]lso didn't expect the growth from Cohort 3[, which had] 10 students[,] in Fall of 2021 to Cohort 9[, which has almost 40 students . . . [It is v]ery rewarding to see the effort paying off in student career success and program growth," explained Patrick Aiken, Director of the Turner College's TSYS Center for Cybersecurity.
     Members of Cohort 9 were able to meet each other last week in the Synovus Center Theater (shown at right).  They also got to meet some of their instructors, including Armando Fernandez, who took the photo at right, and Elke Brumbaugh, pictured just behind Fernandez. The new cohort students also received a special treat, as Nexus graduates, and now cybersecurity professionals, Fernando Cabello and Cullen Mowery dropped in to meet the students and to share their insights about how to be successful in the Nexus program and beyond.  As Aiken, who is picture in the center of the first row above, added, "My colleagues [Fernandez and Brumbaugh] are enthusiastic, energetic and talented. These students are fortunate to be able to benefit from their expertise." After the gathering it was, of course, time to get to work, so the members of Cohort 9 headed into their classrooms on the first floor. Turner Business wishes each and every one of them the best of luck going forward.
