Calling All Artists!

March 15, 2013 By

Calling All Artists 

TechArts began as an art installation in 1995 as a way to showcase the artistic talents of the students, faculty, and staff of New England Tech and share them with the rest of the college community. The concept of TechArts re-surfaced in the spring of 2004 when a committee of faculty and staff became fully committed to keeping this tradition alive as an annual event.  

 All New England Tech faculty, staff, students and alumni are invited to showcase their artistic talents. Entries may include oils, watercolors, pencil, pen and ink, theater costumes, puppets, ceramics, sculpture, manipulated images, acrylics, furniture, and artistic instruments. The art submission form may be found at http://library.neit.edu/artsatneit.html. The deadline for submission is March 23, 2013.

 The TechArts exhibit will be on display from April 1 through June 8 and is free and open to the public.  Art now has a permanent place in the library with a mix of works from the expanding number of arts-related courses that are now part of the NEIT curriculum.  Stop by and enjoy the creativity and imagination of the artists who are part of the New England Tech community.

Congressman Langevin Announces Winners of RI Cyber Security Contest At NEIT

January 11, 2013 By

From GoLocalProv.com

For the second year in a row, Exeter-West Greenwich High School student Adam Sowden has been named the top finisher in the Rhode Island Cyber Foundations Competition.

Beating out more than 100 students from eight different schools, Sowden was lauded for his efforts in the third edition of the contest, where students competed in timed quizzes to test their aptitude in three areas of effective cybersecurity: networking, operating systems and system administration.

Last spring, Langevin called for more Rhode Island business participation in the competition, saying “it is imperative that we increase their involvement,” and, for his efforts, Sowden was awarded a $1,500 check from McCabe Software, a Cranston computer company, as well as a $2,000 scholarship offer from New England Institute of Technology.

The second and third-place finishers, East Greenwich High School’s Xiaoyi (Julian) Wu and Chariho High School’s Joseph Caruso, each won $500 from McCabe and will receive scholarship offers of $1,500 and $1,000 respectively from New England Tech.

“I congratulate Adam, Julian and Joseph on their outstanding performances,” Langevin said in a press release. “With tremendous leadership from Erin and New England Tech, this program is introducing students to an industry that is poised for tremendous growth and new job opportunities in our state. You can’t have effective workforce development, however, unless the business community is fully engaged, so I’m especially excited about the commitment from McCabe Software to giving high schoolers across the state the opportunity to learn about cybersecurity.”
