Walsh College

Description

Our country’s technology infrastructure is the foundation to our economy and national security. The President’s “National Strategy to Secure Cyberspace” includes educational programs in information assurance to train professionals to protect this infrastructure from threats and security breaches. Data security is also a corporate concern. A recent survey revealed that almost half of the professionals in the field of information technology believe that there will be a major attack on their IT systems in the next year. What’s worse, they also believe most companies aren’t prepared for such an attack.Walsh College is at the forefront of information assurance education in the United States. Our exemplary Master of Science degree in Information Assurance (MSIA) meets rigorous government security curriculum standards, an effort that once again has earned us a Center of Academic Excellence for Information Assurance designation from the National Security Agency and the Department of Homeland Security. At Spring Commencement on May 20, the first four Walsh MSIA graduates received their diplomas.At Commencement, Walsh conferred degrees to 571 graduates and gave academic excellence awards for accounting, writing, tax, and finance. We were fortunate to have Walsh alumna Margaret Kelly back at the Troy campus as keynote speaker and honorary doctor of laws recipient. The CEO of RE/MAX International was Margaret Topolewski when she received her Bachelor of Business Administration degree from Walsh College in 1981. She and her husband, John Kelly, a Walsh alumnus, met in Ed Alef’s statistics class. Senator Shirley Johnson also received an honorary doctor of laws degree in recognition of her distinguished career in the Michigan Senate. Senator Johnson is retiring this year due to term limits.
