Ray Snyder, Instructor in Business Technology, won the Southern Region Faculty Member Award, and Dr. Mary Thornley, President, won the Southern Region Chief Executive Officer Award. Ray and Dr. Thornley will receive their awards in October at the 2019 ACCT Leadership Congress in San Francisco where they will be in contention for corresponding national awards.
“ACCT is proud to shine a spotlight on some of the nation’s best public servants and professionals through our regional awards program,” said ACCT President and CEO J. Noah Brown. “The 2019 awardees reflect the extraordinary commitments and accomplishments of the people who dedicate their lives to helping students succeed.”
TTC is the first two-year college in South Carolina to be designated a National Center of Academic Excellence in Cyber Defense Education (CAE-CD) through the academic year 2024.
The CAE-CD program is sponsored by the National Security Agency and the Department of Homeland Security. The program's goal is to reduce vulnerability in the nation's information infrastructure by promoting cyber defense research and education, producing professionals with cyber defense expertise.
The college offers an associate degree and a certificate in cybersecurity through its Network Systems Management department. Both programs are being offered tuition-free this fall as part of a free tuition pilot project. Fall 2 classes begin Oct. 23. Learn more about TTC's cybersecurity program.
