         WHEREAS, Richland College has been designated as a two-year
  National Center of Academic Excellence in Information Assurance
  Education, and the attainment of this prestigious status reflects
  the high quality of its educational offerings in that field; and
         WHEREAS, The National Center of Academic Excellence program
  was established by the National Security Agency and the Department
  of Homeland Security, with the support of the National Science
  Foundation and CyberWatch, and it is intended to promote higher
  education and research related to safeguarding the nation's
  information infrastructure; and
         WHEREAS, To be selected as a center of academic excellence, a
  college or university must establish a strong information assurance
  program and design its security courses in accordance with training
  standards developed by the Committee on National Security Systems;
  and
         WHEREAS, Richland College has placed a special emphasis on
  information assurance and has offered a specialization in that area
  since the fall of 2007 as part of its associate degree program in
  digital forensics; students who complete this specialization are
  trained in measures to prevent the loss, unauthorized modification,
  and destruction of data, and they receive diverse training that
  draws on skills in computer science, accounting, criminology,
  management, and system and security engineering; and
         WHEREAS, Covering the 2011 through 2016 school years, the
  National Center of Academic Excellence designation provides
  recognition of Richland College's leadership in the study of cyber
  security, and the institution's efforts to prepare well-trained
  professionals to work in this crucial discipline is of great
  benefit to our state and nation; now, therefore, be it
         RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 82nd Texas
  Legislature, 1st Called Session, hereby honor Richland College on
  its designation as a two-year National Center of Academic
  Excellence in Information Assurance Education and extend to all
  those associated with the program sincere best wishes for continued
  success; and, be it further
