Computer Science at Norfolk State University

Many opportunities!

Over the past year, Dr. Hoppa and Dr. Morsi – graduate program coordinators in NSU’s Computer Science department – forged a relationship with Parsons, a digitally enabled solutions provider focused on the defense, intelligence, and critical infrastructure markets. Along with inaugurating an expert speakers series, they worked with Parsons to create a first-of-its-kind micro-internship to benefit graduate students who need a short-burst experience instead of a summer-long program. As part of that project, four NSU students participated in a series of professional development sessions with IT team to learn about the company’s work culture and opportunities in their Defense and Intelligence business unit. Another Parsons micro-internship is in the works for the coming academic year. Information will be shared as soon as details have been finalized. Congratulations Spartans!
