Virginia Beach, VA – ECPI University is proud to announce a new partnership with Revature, the largest employer of entry-level technology talent in the United States. This university-corporate partnership was created to help bridge the gap between college and career for the next generation of tech talent.

ECPI University students and graduates looking to launch technology careers can choose from the following two pathways with Revature:

• Active students in their final semester can enter the unpaid Revature Accelerator Program (RAP) Internship.
• Recent Graduates can apply to the paid, full-time, entry-level software developer position.

Revature’s training platform provides both programming instruction and soft skills development during an initial three-month training period. Students can also earn industry-recognized certifications during the program.

Virginia Beach, VA – In celebration of National Nurses Week (May 6-12), ECPI University will award over $55,000 in scholarships across its 14 nursing campuses in Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Florida, Texas and online. Each scholarship is worth $2,000, and each campus will have two scholarship recipients.

The contest – located at www.ecpi.edu/heart– is open to aspiring nurses, current ECPI nursing students, and nurses working in their field and looking to earn an advanced degree. To enter, applicants must answer “How is Nursing a Work of Heart?”, submit a photo to be used for Facebook voting, and select which campus (and degree program) they plan to attend. Entries will be accepted now through May 1.

A scholarship team will narrow entries down to five finalists per campus, with finalists’ essays and photos then posted on ECPI University’s Facebook page for public voting during National Nurses Week (May 6-12). Scholarship winners will be announced on May 12 during a special “Thank You” event for ECPI nursing students, faculty and graduates, held on all 14 nursing campuses.

“ECPI University provides hands-on instruction for students working towards their LPN, RN, BSN and MSN, employs educators training the next generation of nurses and partners with healthcare employers in need of our graduates. We have a deep level of respect for the nursing field and our place in it,” says ECPI University COO, Barbara Larar. “After two years of pandemic education and care, we wanted to find a way to say thank you. We hope these scholarships encourage potential or current nurses in the pursuit of their passion, or can assist nurses already in the field who want to further their education.”

This scholarship contest is the first of its kind for ECPI University. For more information, contact Jessica Davenport at 757-773-8585.

Columbia, SC – Congratulations are in order for ECPI University – Columbia’s cybersecurity team, D0wn the L1ine, who earned first place in the “U.S. Cyber Range” competition hosted by Wicked6 Cyber Games. Over 1,000 teams across the country competed on March 23rd and 24th in a continuous, 24+ hours contest.

In addition to the first-place win in the main event, ECPI University - Columbia students took second and third place in the individual ICS Range competition, and the top 12 spots in the Google, SimSpace, SecureWorks and SANS competitions.

The Wicked6 competition served as a fundraiser for the Women's Society of Cyberjutsu, a nonprofit dedicated to closing the gender gap and raising awareness of cybersecurity careers for women. The competition required a female team member; the Columbia team has two talented women on their cybersecurity team.

“We are extremely proud of D0wn the L1ine and their Wicked6 win,” says ECPI University Columbia Campus President Jim Rund. “This team consistently excels because our cyber program not only educates, it trains students by exposing them to what attackers are doing, how to protect against it and how they can be compromised. Competitions sharpen cybersecurity skills and enable our students to hit the ground running as industry professionals.”

In 2021, over 900 ECPI University students graduated with degrees in Computer and Information Science across all campuses. The university is designated by The National Security Agency and the Department of Homeland Security as a National Center of Academic Excellence in Cyber Defense Education (CAE-CDE) for the Bachelor of Science in Computer and Information Science: Cyber and Information Security Technology major, Cybersecurity Track.
