In late August, Kenneth Atchinson, associate professor of computer science, was named IT Educator of the Year at the annual Greater Cleveland Partnership Best of Tech Awards.
Under his expert leadership, BW cybersecurity teams have achieved repeated success in local, regional and national competitions, including first place in the 2019 Collegiate Cyber Defense Competition (CCDC) Midwest Regionals and a strong showing in the nationals.
"I am honored and humbled to receive this award," says Atchinson. "It is really a reflection of the passion I have for teaching information technology (IT) and cybersecurity to students."
BW's cybersecurity program will soon have a new academic home with cutting edge lab space to help keep pace in the changing field.
The Austin E. Knowlton Center is scheduled to open in January 2021, bringing together data science, artificial intelligence, mathematical modeling, cybersecurity, engineering and physics in an impressive 55,000 square-foot building.
