"I want to be confident in what I'm teaching and be able to explain it to the kids. Everybody has been so supportive and helpful and encouraging and patient at the AGENT Initiative," Addison said. "I'm going to be 64 this month. I'm here to prove that you can teach old dogs new tricks."

AGENT came on Jay Hunter's radar because 81 of his students participated in CyberStart America, which UNG helps lead in Georgia, during the 2022-23 academic year. Hunter, who teaches computer science at Woodstock High School, began his teaching career two years ago after retiring from the Army and going back to school five years ago.

"They're showing me a lot of different tools that now I can go home this summer and practice with and bring into my curriculum and enhance the cyber portion of what I teach," Hunter said. "It's like drinking from a fire hose, but it's awesome because there's so much I will be able to incorporate into my classes."

In addition to training and credentialing teachers in cyber, UNG offers bachelor's degrees in computer science, cybersecurity and information systems and will launch its Master of Science in computer science this fall.
