Mason Communications Students Join Cybersecurity Effort on Campus
(Fairfax, Va. – February 20, 2016) – George Mason University communication majors are participating in a cybersecurity effort on campus. The students will work for Center of Assurance Research and Engineering (CARE) and complete a portfolio of research, writing and visual materials they have created to meet the clients needs.
Dana Faddoul, a junior in communication, will work for CARE and provide her client with a portfolio of research, writing and visual materials.
“I’m so excited I received this opportunity to work for CARE. It will expand my horizons and allow me to sharpen my innovative skills,” Faddoul said.
“Dana has excellent leadership skills,” said Katherine Rowan, the course instructor. “She works hard in class, assists other students and communicates effectively with class clients.”
CARE takes a multidisciplinary approach to provide innovative cyber security solutions. The center helps to build awareness among regional and national high-tech industry executives, partner with other companies on research funded by the government agency and create an advisory board for further outreach to industry connections.
“I value the fresh perspective and new ideas that students offer to challenge my organization’s traditional ways of communicating,” said Mary Crowson, communications officer for CARE. “Also, these students are whiz kids with technology; they are updating me on the latest work-smarter tools. And I am grateful for the additional manpower. The team is contributing significantly to my office’s output.”
