TSYS School professor of computer science Jianhua Yang received the 2024 Turner College Excellence in Service Award at the organization's 2024 faculty and staff retreat on April 30. Yang's grant-writing abilities played a substantial role in his qualification for this award, as he and other co-investigators were awarded a grant from the National Security Agency (NSA) that positioned the TSYS School to increase awareness of career opportunities in cybersecurity and STEM fields among sixth through eighth-grade girls. The students involved in this program completed a week-long camp in August of 2023, during which they experienced the TSYS School's cyber range, which is a “live-fire” range where students and industry professionals practice live-fire exercises that address over 50,000 versions of malware on an exact replica of a company’s network. As Yang explained, “We hope that through this program, some of our aspiring female technology leaders will be inspired to pursue their education here in Columbus State’s cybersecurity program. This would certainly contribute to advancing women and minorities in the science and technology fields.” In addition to the above efforts, Yang has recently served on the CSU Faculty Senate, as well as the Turner College's Faculty Resource and Development Committee and Curriculum Committee. Lastly, he has also served as guest editor for special issues of the Journal of Electronics, Frontiers in Energy Research, and Electronics. Turner Business congratulates Jianhua on this outstanding achievement.
