SIUSLAW NEWS | SATURDAY, JUNE 1, 2019 | 9A New cybersecurity degree program launches at LCC Masons announce scholarship winners Registration is open now through mid-September Lane Community Col- lege is introducing a new cybersecurity degree pro- gram that will train stu- dents for computer and network security jobs. Graduates will take leading-edge skills into a promising job market. Oregon has about 300 job openings currently. Worldwide, it is estimated that 3.5 million jobs will be available by 2021. “Tech is the fastest growing job sector any- where you look,” says Chris Rehn, division dean for Computer Information Technology and Business at LCC. He says one in 20 jobs is now tech related. The need for cyberse- curity is fueled by email breaches, phishing, cy- ber-ransom, online spy- ing, open source flaws, election tampering and more. Local need is driven in part by Silicon Shire, the metro area’s nickname for an estimated 400 technol- ogy companies. Lane has partnered with Amazon Web Services, Cisco Systems, VMWare, CompTIA, and Palo Alto Networks to train students on the same hardware and software used in the work- place. While on the degree path, students can stack up credentials as a Cisco Certified Entry Network Technician (CCENT), Cisco Certified Network Associate (CCNA) in Cy- ber Operations, Amazon Web Services (AWS) Cer- tified Solutions Architect, and Palo Alto Networks Certified Cybersecu-rity Associate. For registration infor- mation, visit www.lanecc. edu/cit/cybersecurity or call the LCC Computer Information Technology Department at 541-463- 5221.

The fund was started by an initial dona- tion from the Friends of the Siuslaw Public Library and has been added to each year with donations from the Friends as well as dona- tions from many individu- als in the community. Bookplates are placed in the endowment books ac- knowledging the individual and group donations. Each year the library re- ceives a certain amount of the interest accrued in its Endowment Fund for the purchase of new books. As the fund increases, the amount available to spend on new additions to the library’s collection of children’s, young adult and adult books increases. The Library Endowment Fund allows the library to maintain the wide and var- ied print collection offered to library patrons. Some of the books purchased are special, more expensive books that would not fit within the library’s regular book-purchasing budget. These special purchases range from large coffee-ta- ble books filled with stun- ning art and photography to current reference books to up-to-date science and health books.

Get involved On May 7, Florence Masonic lodge No. 107 members presented four schol- arships to high school seniors. The Florence Masonic Lodge presented scholarships to Seth Morton and Casey A. Arvilla of Siuslaw High School and Triangle Lake High School senior Emma Mather, who received the lodge’s first Ardell Bennett Scholarship. Micah Reed, also of Triangle Lake, received the Masonic Widow’s Club Scholarship. Ardell Bennett was a Masonic Widow, providing major efforts and support for the Widow’s Club to keep presenting more scholarships. In memory of Bennett, her family established the Ardell Bennett Scholarship Fund, which is given in addi- tion to the Masonic Widow’s Club Scholarship. The lodge also gives schol- arships to seniors going to trade schools in the Masons’ efforts to support education in many different forms. Applicants for scholarships don’t have to belong to the Masonic Lodge to apply.
