NSA at STEM Symposium
The NSA was one of several federal agencies, alongside DHS and the National Reconnaissance Office, who lent their support to the annual STEM Symposium. The need for a STEM-proficient federal workforce couldn’t be greater: A recent report from the General Accounting Office notes that federal agencies face an ongoing shortage of IT and cyber professionals who can safeguard critical information systems from ever-increasing cyber threats and breaches. All of which makes the annual STEM Symposium event—and federal agencies’ support of fostering future generations of STEM-proficient students—so imperative.
