FORT MEADE, Md. — Partnerships are vital to the National Security Agency (NSA), and an academic relationship forged with Mercyhurst University last year is already paying dividends for both parties.
NSA established an Educational Partnership Agreement (EPA) with Mercyhurst University in August of 2021, just one of a multitude of partnership efforts between the agency and academia. The EPA between NSA and universities/non-profit organizations sets the foundation to support education efforts for students in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM), as well as in language and other skills.
