A group of Huskies has banded together to promote teamwork and grow a stronger community in computing by bringing back the Association of Student Computing Interaction and Involvement (ASCII) at Michigan Tech. ASCII is inviting students from all majors and experience levels to their Spring Hackathon from 4-7:30 p.m. Saturday, March 28, in Rehki 112.
Noah Holland didn’t know there was another Husky in his family tree until he applied to Michigan Tech. What he did know, well before he came to the University as a first-year cybersecurity student, was that he wanted to join MTU RedTeam.
CyberHusky participants from Houghton High School achieved their best-ever results in the 2025 Cyberpatriot National Youth Cyber Defense Competition.
The foresight to envision the rapid rise of everything computational and establish a hub for pioneering and expanding groundbreaking work in the field set Michigan Tech’s Institute of Computing and Cybersystems on its path 10 years ago. An ambitious goal to become “a $10-million institute” was set and has now nearly been met.
When it comes to red teaming, Michigan Tech Computing Huskies are among the best in the nation. The MTU RedTeam earned an overall Cyber Power Ranking of 22nd in the nation from the National Cyber League (NCL). NCL said the ranking represents the ability of students to perform real-world tasks, including identifying hackers from forensic . . .
Candidates for the multiple cybersecurity and computer science faculty position openings in the College of Computing will be visiting campus this semester, including Ahmed Tanvir Mahdad.
