Happy Summer NoVA Post! Not sure if it is official or not but sure does feel like it. And as I write this, Happy Birthday to the U.S. Army! Hooah!
Thanks to many of you who joined us in Ashburn on June 2nd at the Lost Rhino Brewing Company to partner with our colleagues at 7x24 Exchange DC Chapter and the USA-CO (Uniformed Service Advocates in Critical Operations). Great way to learn about the data center industry and find opportunities to employ our veterans.
Super huge thank you to our Scholarship Committee of Bob Bevins and Christine Tsai! We’ve been able to increase our scholarship giving this year to $21,000. See further details in next month's newsletter.
Hope to see you all at our Annual Golf Tournament on July 14th! Please either join us for the day or at least the lunch to celebrate a few of our scholarship recipients and SAME STEM Campers.
Lastly, join us at the Army Navy Country Club on August 11th for a THREE-FER!
(1) Awards ceremony for our members and sustaining firms

RECAP - Joint SAME NoVA & USA-CO Event
Data Center and Veteran Outreach Event
|
|
Northern Virginia is the "Data Center Capital of the World" and the expert panelist spoke to the future of the area; it's growing! The speakers spoke on the topic: "Future Vulnerabilities and Resiliencies for Data Centers: Physical, Workforce, Technical". The panelists were engaging and went into detail about the ever-changing security and careers in the data center world.
There are various degrees and accreditations one could seek out when looking to start a career in Data Centers. Northern Virginia Community College has a one-year certificate program in Data Center Operations that is a first for Virginia.
Best of all - we raised $8,000 to benefit Boulder Crest Foundation Charity and our own Scholarship Fund!!
