The National Security Agency (NSA) will be hosting our third NSA Day diversity event for Student Programs on April 16th, 2010. The event allows students to participate in a day of NSA briefings, hands-on activities and interviews.
The focus for the event will be on our Semester Intern Program for Science and Technology (SIP/ST) and our Cooperative Education (Coop) program. The Semester Intern Program recruits juniors and select sophomore students majoring in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Computer Systems Engineering, Network Engineering and Telecommunications to gain work experience during their spring or fall semesters. The Coop Program recruits second semester freshman to second semester sophomores majoring in Computer Science, Computer Engineering and Electrical Engineering to conduct alternating semesters of work and school.
If you're interested, email cmille1@umbc.edu by 25 March 2010. The NSA will conduct a preliminary evaluation of the students' resumes to identify those students who meet the SIP/ST and Coop program eligibility criteria for participation in the event. While not required, a minimum 3.0 GPA is preferred.
We will be able to accommodate approximately 30 students for this event so it is important that student resumes be submitted for consideration as soon as possible. Interested students must apply on-line for the SIP/ST or Coop programs at the links below:
