IN THIS ISSUE:

,

First as a faculty member and later as academic dean, Dr. Helen G. Barker has mentored, taught, and advised many current and former students. Now, as the university's newly-appointed chief academic officer, Dr. Barker sees an exciting new era opening for Capitol -- new programs, new facilities, and new opportunities.

Capitol was the among the first universities in the world to offer degrees in what was once a new and little-known field: cybersecurity. Today, cyber's increasing role is evident everywhere, including on the battlefield. The US Army just announced plans to deploy cyber teams, and other branches of the armed forces are also boosting their capabilities. Capitol's undergraduate and graduate programs continue to equip aspiring cyber warriors with the skills and know how they need. Our doctoral students in the field have made contributions to the application of cybersecurity to warfare and defense. And our military tuition discount programs open up avenues to servicemen and women as they transition to civilian life.

Also this month, learn how data is reshaping business analytics -- and the way companies make decisions. On behalf of all of us at Capitol, we wish you and yours a safe, healthy, and festive holiday and a happy new year!
