4 Na*onal Higher Educa*on and Workforce Ini*a*ve: Expansion Channel Strategy, Cyber Illustra,on Over the past two years BHEF s CyberUP ini#a#ve has made significant impact across regional expansion channels and plans to con#nue to scale these results in new geographies. College / University Projects Regional Ini*a*ves / University Systems Na*onal Networks Na#onal: Expanded BHEF s Na*onal Cyber Network to 20 colleges / universi*es and more than 70 par*cipants in 2013 and received $4.5M NSF grant. Developed na*onal priori*es and ac*on agenda including three working groups: 1. Vision and Growth 2. Talent Development 3. Evidence College / University: In Maryland, helped establish the first undergraduate honors program in cybersecurity, the Advanced Cybersecurity Experience for Students (ACES): Launched in 2013, planning funded by the Sloan Founda*on, while programma*c investment came from Northrop Grumman and was matched by the university Brought Parsons into the project resul*ng in support for ACES scholarships Regional: Expanded CyberUP through the University System of Maryland (USM): Northrop Grumman awarded Cyber Scholars grant to University of Maryland, Bal*more County Introduced collabora*ons linking Raytheon Company with Towson University, and Lockheed Mar*n with Bowie State University through support from the Sloan Founda*on Launched the Undergraduate Cybersecurity Network, Greater DC coali*on with $1M ONR grant 2014 BHEF 4

5 HEWI Expansion and Partner Engagement: Expansion Overview Across its three channels, BHEF is expanding HEWI in two ways: by building on exis#ng projects, and by launching ini#a#ves in new geographies based on market demand. Exis1ng Program Expansion BHEF will build on past successes to con*nue to increase HEWI impact in regional geographies through: 1 Growing individual projects to more students 2 Expanding within university/regional systems 3 Developing regional networks and scaling to the broader region (e.g., from Maryland to the Greater D.C. Area) Expansion in New Geographies 4 New target loca*ons are iden*fied by market demand and member input; HEWI is then launched in each loca*on through one of two approaches: Regional Approach: A region with high workforce need and poised for partner engagement to form a network College/University Approach: A college or university program with poten*al to expand with BHEF support Illustra,ve Map 2014 BHEF 5
