With deep appreciation for the opportunity to be part of the Department of HERD’s affiliate faculty & the Center for *ETHICS, I’m submitting my 2015-2016 annual academic report: 1. As a member of a collaborative, cross sector, inter-university team, I’ve contributed to ongoingpedagogical/educational, (initially) NSF-funded, research exploring transitioning America’s veterans and serviceman into academic programs in order to prepare them for careers in Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM). Our focus was specifically on cybersecurity careers where there is a significant deficit of qualified individuals to fill the openings that exist. Our initial grant, VetsEngr, was funded between 2010-2012 [EEC 1037814]. Results were published in the book: Shoemaker, D. and Endicott-Popovsky, B., eds. (Spring 2015). Educational Approaches to Transition Former Military Personnel into the Cybersecurity Field. Special Edition of The Colloquium for Information System Security Education (CISSE), CISSE Edition 2, Issue 2. Following our initial work, we searched for new funding sources and after nurturing an opportunity with the US Army Reserve for over two years, we were awarded a new grant for AY 2016-17 with the possibility, given success, of significantly more funding next year. My role on the grant project team will be as the pedagogy SME. HERD Director Sharon Stoll will be contracted as the ethics education SME. Our product, a course designed for US Army reservists that will prepare them to respond to a major cyber event, will be completed in Spring and delivered to an initial cohort in Summer 2017. 2. The effort above represents most of my academic activities for the year. I also continued collaboration with leading Russian experts at the Lesgaft State Physical Culture University, my former colleagues, by promoting publication and other opportunities for the Department of HERD. 3. This past year, I also participated in educational activities at the University by visiting the Moscow, Idaho, campus to work directly with HERD students. At this coming year, I will continue to look for opportunities to contribute to the department on the topic of sports pedagogy in various sports and society classes, in addition to making contributions on the USAR/NSA grant.
