Two School of Library and Information Science students from the College of Applied Sciences and Arts at San José State University received grants to attend the Women’s Institute in Summer Enrichment, according to their cybersecurity professor Tonia San Nicolas-Rocca.

Erin Clark and Kate Dillion will be among the graduate students, post-doctoral fellows and professors from a variety of disciplines to attend the one-week residential summer program hosted at Cornell University. The program is focused on Ubiquitous Secure Technology along with the social, political and economic ramifications that are associated with the technology, according to Nicolas-Rocca. Leaders in academia, industry and government will all gather to teach courses in computer science, engineering, economics, law and public policy.
