April Kaull: At West Virginia University, mountaineers go first.

A partnership with the United States Defense Department is giving students at West Virginia University real-word cybersecurity experience.

WVU is one of 84 educational institutions that will work closely with CYBERCOM where students engage in applied research and innovation while gaining valuable cybersecurity workforce training.

This translates into a leadership advantage in the rapidly growing field of computer science and electrical engineering at the Benjamin M. Statler College of Engineering and Mineral Resources.

Or for students majoring in cybersecurity at the John Chambers College of Business and Economics.

Both majors have access to CYBERCOM's academic partnership, including expertise from some of the country's most eminent cybersecurity experts and prestigious civilian internship opportunities. And learning labs allow teams of students to see how many ways a system can be compromised, find its vulnerabilities or weak spots and develop appropriate defenses.

The program also ties into cross-college experiences like the Locked Shields cyber competition. Last Spring, WVU students from engineering, business, law and media schools cooperated with the West Virginia National Guard and Polish allies to defend a fictional country. Their hard work led the U.S. team to its highest ranking in the exercise and put WVU on CYBERCOM's radar.

So let's go. Follow our story on wvutoday.wvu.edu.
