About the Cyber Center at ÌìÃÀ´«Ã½
ÌìÃÀ´«Ã½ received funding in 1998 for a Program of Distinction in telecommunications, using resources made available through the Regional University Excellence Trust fund. Specifically, a Center for Telecommunications Systems Management (CTSM) was established through which the University is to address regional and national public and private sector needs. As technology has evolved, so has ÌìÃÀ´«Ã½'s approach to technology education. As of December 2021, the center changed its name and focus. The Cyber Education and Research Center (Cyber Center) will provide education, research, development and outreach support for ÌìÃÀ´«Ã½'s cyber-related programs.
