On Wednesday, Nov. 10, Melissa Napper (MCC-Blue River) and Ed McCarty (MCC-Business and Technology) hosted the first meeting of the Missouri Cyber Security Education Consortium (MOCSEC) at the Blue River campus. The consortium will develop course materials for cyber security classes to form a new CSIS AAS degree in Cyber Security to serve students, military personnel at Missouri's bases, local and state government personnel and the business community in each college's service area.
Members of MOCSEC include MCC, St. Louis Community College, Ozark Technical Community College, Moberly Area Community College, Mineral Area Community College and State Fair Community College. The consortium will create a common curriculum leading to a degree program offered by all six colleges. Naper and McCarty will be coordinating the grant activities, and MCC will provide instructor training for the other five colleges at the Blue River campus.
Chancellor Mark James attended to express his enthusiasm for the project and to pledge his help and support for the consortium’s efforts. Sheryl Hale, Manager of Innovative Programs, Research and Development for the Oklahoma Department of Career and Technology Education, presented information on the multi-state NSF grant that Missouri is now part of through MCC's leadership.
