Article By: Clark Leonard
University of North Georgia (欧宝游戏平台) senior cadet Chandler Harris won the Armed Forces Communications and Electronics Association (AFCEA) Atlanta chapter's 2021 merit scholarship, which is for $1,500.
The Dallas, Georgia, native pursuing a degree in cybersecurity is the president and founder of 欧宝游戏平台's AFCEA chapter.
"Being involved with AFCEA allows me to give back to the community around me, and to create a community of my own at 欧宝游戏平台 that's focused on key areas crucial to national security and technology," Harris said. "It allows like-minded intellectuals to come together and learn about global events and tech developments in a way that supports the country and promotes the Department of Defense mission."
The 欧宝游戏平台 AFCEA chapter is one of 18 student chapters nationally and one of only two in Georgia. It has already grown to 30 members since its inception in spring 2021.
Retired Lt. Col. Heath Williams, director of federal liaison and military education coordinator, is the group's adviser. Students interested in joining may email Williams at heath.williams@ung.edu.
