October has been an historic month at Capitol. We are now officially a university, a designation reflected by our new name -- Capitol Technology University. With this milestone, we build on the achievements of the past and look ahead to further expansion.

In a special message to the Capitol community, President Wood elaborates on the changes, including the process of choosing our new name, and what they will mean for us as an institution. This month's Connector also includes news of our newly-announced partnership with the Cyber Security Forum Initiative and a profile of astronautical engineering alumnus Marcel Mabson. These are exciting times at the school you know and love, and the best is yet to come!

A Letter from Capitol's President, Dr. Michael T. Wood

Capitol College officially became Capitol Technology University this month. Our new name and status reflect the continued growth of our programs, while also setting a course for the future.

Capitol Technology University Partners with the Cyber Security Forum Initiative

Capitol Technology University this month announced a new partnership with the Cyber Security Forum Initiative (CSFI) to expand training opportunities in order to confront the growing problem of cyber attacks.

Alumni Profile: Marcel Mabson

Early exposure and the guidance of mentors are among the factors that spur young people to pursue science and technology careers, says 2010 astronautical engineering graduate Marcel Mabson, who helps provide ground systems support for NASA missions.

Join us on October 22 as we celebrate our new name and university status. We'll be breaking ground for our new residence complex and opening the Capitol College time capsule, buried 25 years ago. Michael Steele, former lieutenant governor of Maryland, will join us as keynote speaker.
