Goucher students benefit from intergenerational learning classes.
going to actually need to be successful.”
Goucher College students are also gaining practical skills thanks to a new partnership with Edenwald Senior Living, creating
the first university retirement community in
Maryland with lifelong learning programming for seniors and Goucher students.
Beginning this spring, seniors who
reside at Edenwald are auditing classes on
the Goucher campus and others will participate in international study abroad programs
alongside Goucher students this summer.
Matthew Van Hoose, associate vice president for Global, Career and CommunityBased Learning at Goucher College, explains
that the population is aging and while they
are living longer, seniors are remaining
active, engaged and in the workforce later
in life than traditionally. Today’s world is
enduring a demographic shift.
“Our students are going to graduate and
enter a workforce and enter communities
and broader social contexts that are much
more age diverse, and so they need to
be prepared to engage across generational
lines, arguably more than they have ever
had to before,” Van Hoose explains. “From
Goucher’s standpoint, we feel like we owe it
to our students to create these opportunities
for intergenerational exchange [and] collaboration while they're still on our campus,
so that they are better prepared for their
futures.”
Upon hearing about the partnership,
Jersey Ingstrup, a junior psychology major
from New Jersey, liked the idea that seniors
would be in classes with Goucher students.
She was pleasantly surprised when she
learned that her Culture and Nutrition class
included two seniors.
“The whole point of this program is to
embrace intergenerational learning, and I do
think I see that happening in very interesting ways in class,” she says. “They can bring
up points and remember things that were
going on in different times that we can't, and
we can't make certain connections that they
can, given their experiences.”

Najjar has learned how to manage the large
CAD files that are generated by the scans,
how to make molds and more importantly,
how to apply the knowledge in an unfamiliar
field. The collaborative effort provided him
with the knowledge and skills that will be
transferable to multiple fields when he graduates and begins to look for employment.
Working with Baltimore Cyber Range,
a cyber warfare strategy center, students at
Community College of Baltimore County
are gaining significant real-world experience addressing cyber security challenges
that threaten individuals, industries and the
government.
“We teach with real world examples,
explain how they happened and how they
can be mitigated. This allows students to
apply their knowledge,” Noell Damron, a
professor in the computer information systems department, says. “We’re seeing a lot of
challenges as a result of AI (artificial intelligence) right now. The folks on the dark
side are using AI to create malware, they’re
getting better at phishing scams and are giving us a run for our money. It’s getting scary
how good they are with AI.”
A system of terminals at CCBC are connected to the Baltimore Cyber Range, which
allows students to go through multiple exercises, such as defending against malware
attacks, Damron says. The students are subjected to multiple real-world scenarios to
better hone their skills.
“It’s a lot of fun and it’s setting the
students up for future career opportunities,” Damron says. He noted that students
receive hands-on training in the program, so
prior information systems experience is not
required. Students who finish the degree at
CCBC are equipped to find multiple positions in cyber security. Approximately 80%
of graduates move right into the workforce,
Damron says.
CCBC’s program started in 2008 as an
information assurance program. Over the
years the program increasingly focused on
security as cyber threats became more of a
need within the industry. CCBC’s coursework includes a networking design program,
as well as a digital forensics program that
teaches students the proper way to collect,
protect and present digital evidence. CCBC
is the only community college in Maryland
to offer the forensics focus, Damron says.
A new data science program developed
at University of Maryland, Eastern Shore is
designed to engage students from various
backgrounds, not just those who have a
background working with information systems and large data sets.
More and more, industries are harnessing the capabilities of big data to and that
means they need people who are capable of
harnessing the information. The program
trains students in best practices for analyzing
large data sets and extracting insights from
the information that drives decision-making.
“Big data is everywhere. The data science
field is a high growth field. It intersects with
so many disciplines. You can do data analytics in most any field whatsoever,” says Isaac
Marcelin, professor and associate dean in the
department of business, management, and
accounting.
The UMES program was designed to meet
the workforce demands in Maryland, the
mid-Atlantic region and beyond, Marcelin
says. The program was implemented in the
fall semester of 2024 and set up to welcome
students who may not have a background
working in data science, Marcelin says.
When the data science program was
being designed, Marcelin says the university received feedback from partners within the business community that informed
curriculum development. He says that was
important because it provided up-to-date
information on what the workforce needed
from training programs. In addition to the
developmental feedback, Marcelin says the
corporate partners also provide internship
opportunities for students, “places where
these skill sets are in demand.”
“The program is providing students with
a new currency for the digital economy.
We’re providing a workforce that is ready,
and we (UMES) want to be a leader in this
area. We’re providing the students with the
technical expertise they need to succeed.”
