Recent graduates are embarking on an exciting college journey this fall aware of the dramatic impact additional education can have on their future lifetime earning capacity. Cameron Guidry-Lewis is one of those graduates and the recipient of the 2024 George L.H. King Memorial Scholarship. He is pursuing a four-year Bachelor of Science degree in computer science at Texas State University in San Marcos. Cameron wants to specialize in cybersecurity, a rapidly growing field with high demands for hiring qualified professionals.
Cybersecurity involves protecting network information and data from digital attacks or “cyber hacks.” It involves halting information theft or hardware damage. With electronic devices and networks growing at an exponential speed, security challenges are intense. Companies look for highly skilled employees to strengthen their online security and protect valuable data. That is just the thing that Cameron is preparing for—being a valuable employee by building a strong foundation in computer science.
The start of his college experience sounds exciting. He shared, “One thing that is nice about college is that I live in a dorm in the middle of the campus at Texas State where I have access to just about everything. I have met so many new people.”
