Congratulations to Ben Burdette, a junior Electronic Media & Broadcasting major, on being one of just two students selected for a 2026 Ohio Valley Emmys scholarship! 🏆

Ben received the Board of Governors Scholarship from the Ohio Valley Chapter of the National Academy of Television Arts & Sciences (NATAS), an organization dedicated to advancing television and video content creation and recognizing excellence across the Ohio Valley region.

Encouraged by COI Teaching Professor Wes Akers to apply, Ben submitted samples of his play-by-play broadcasting work as part of the application process. His talent and dedication earned him this prestigious scholarship and an invitation to celebrate at the 2026 Ohio Valley Emmy Gala in Louisville back in July.

The Ohio Valley Emmys are committed to supporting the next generation of media professionals through scholarships and student awards, and we are so proud to see Ben representing NKU among them. Way to go, Ben! 👏

Our School of Media and Communication and School of Computing and Analytics held their welcome receptions this week, offering students the opportunity to meet the people who will become an integral part of their college experience.

SMC students got to know faculty through a fun fact bingo sheet, while SCA students made connections through speed mentoring rotations.

A pretty solid way to start the semester if you ask us! 🥳

Congratulations to Sean Cancel, a senior double majoring in Cybersecurity and Computer Information Technology, on being selected for NASA’s L’SPACE Proposal Writing and Evaluation Experience (NPWEE) Academy for the Fall 2026 cohort! 🪐🚀

Throughout this 12-week program, Sean will work alongside an interdisciplinary team to identify NASA technology needs, develop innovative solutions, and learn how to create competitive proposals aligned with NASA mission needs. This gives him an opportunity to put his IT and cybersecurity problem-solving skills to work by solving complex challenges in the aerospace industry.

After recently completing a summer internship as a Project Analyst Intern at GE Aerospace, Sean is heading into his senior year with an exciting new experience on the horizon.

We’re excited to announce Brian Cobb, Chief Innovation Officer at the Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky International Airport (CVG), as the keynote speaker for Cyber19! 🛬

With more than 30 years of experience in aviation and airport leadership, Brian has helped position CVG as a testing ground for emerging technologies that improve operations, develop the workforce, create new opportunities, and generate new revenue.

Brian will present “Radar Contact: Threat Detection Lessons from Running Critical Infrastructure,” exploring how CVG detects threats early, monitors an evolving attack surface, and uses cross-sector intelligence to stay ahead of emerging risks. Attendees will leave with a practical framework for early threat detection that applies well beyond aviation plus a candid account of where CVG’s radar has picked something up and what happened next.

Don’t miss your chance to learn from a unique perspective on cybersecurity within aviation. Purchase your ticket today at the link below.
