Cedarville Magazine Spring 2022

Cedarville’s rise in training students to work in cyber operations began with a conversation between faculty members. That conversation led to a strategically executed Ph.D. path for Seth Hamman, Associate Professor of Cyber Operations and Computer Science, which led to a specialization for computer science majors and, eventually, a new major with 33 students. That first conversation between Hamman and David Gallagher, Senior Professor of Computer Science, one of the founders of Cedarville’s computer science program, happened in 2012. Ten years later, Cedarville is a forerunner in cyber operations education and is the premier school in Christian higher education to offer such a major. Cedarville Magazine | 23
