The Center for Information Technology Excellence department at Prairie View A&M University embarked upon a Network Operations Center Summer Internship with four engineering and computer science students. Through classroom training, hands-on labs, and study sessions, the students learned networking protocols and technologies to install, configure, deploy, and manage a modern networking experience for the PVAMU Northwest Center campus. Through their efforts, the students improved network capacity and speed across the campus 1000%. The students, led by campus staff, were able to successfully contribute to the university and learn invaluable workforce skills.
In their first year, the awards honor the most influential people in the higher education technology community, along with the most innovative projects that positively impact universities.“ The EdScoop 50 Awards are all about recognizing the higher education community in a new way,” said Jake Williams, the vice president of content and community of StateScoop and EdScoop. “Institutions have been forever changed by the COVID-19 pandemic, and these awards recognize the class of leaders who lead that change and are charting the path forward for universities.”
Built on the model of other Scoop News Group awards — like the FedScoop 50, StateScoop 50, and CyberScoop 50 — the EdScoop 50 Awards recognize achievements between July 2021 and July 2022. Starting in July, higher education IT community members nominated more than 200 leaders and projects for the awards. The EdScoop team narrowed the list to the top 80, and readers cast more than 200,000 votes to select this year’s winners.
This year’s winners represent 40 institutions, two university systems, seven private sector companies, and one professional organization. From large public universities to community colleges, the awards recognize people and projects of several different sizes and geographically across the entire country.
The Center for Information Technology would like to thank everyone who submitted votes for our students to win this award.
