Summer Academic Programs

TRUST summer programs provide students with a rich academic and research experiences. BFOIT computer science with college success preparation for middle and high school students. SUPERB-IT and SIPHER are undergraduate research experience in preparation for graduate school. WISE and Trustworthy Computer Curriculum are advanced topics seminars directed at graduate, post doctorate and junior faculty that promote cross-disciplinary research, new course development and faculty promotion and retention.

Workshops, Symposium, Communities…

TRUST workshops, symposium and learning communities cross a variety of subjects and domains but all a principal theme– security. The cross-disciplinary symposium Unblinking explored issued of security camera technology and policy issues through the lens of artist, engineers, lawyers and policy makers. TIPPI, in its 3rd year, is a community of academics and industry professionals seeking answers to the problems associated with information security and password protection. Information Assurance Capacity Symposium is a learning community of academics all alumni of the CMU Information Assurance Capacity Building Program.
