Two Clark State students were selected by the American Community College Association to attend the National Science Foundation (NSF) Advanced Technological Education (ATE) conference October 26 through 28 along with Avetec’s Executive Director of Education Cathy Balas and Clark State Information Technology and Cybersecurity faculty member Dan Heighton.  The students pictured in front of their cybersecurity project posters are Don Wheeler (left) and Ben Schneider (middle).  They were interviewed by Gordon Snyder, Executive Director and Principal Investigator of the Information and Communications Technologies Center. 

“We learned so much during our internship in the summer of 2011,” Schneider commented.  “Our work was at both Avetec and at the Pacific Northwest National Laboratories.  We found out what it is like to work in a professional research environment and gained both technical and business experience that will enhance our career opportunities.”

Ben Schneider was also selected as one of seven students nationwide to speak at the conference. Ben is pictured here as the 5th student from the left speaking to over 800 NSF principal investigators.
