Norfolk State University was awarded a $2.3 million
grant from the Office of the Director of National
Intelligence
(ODNI) in the fall of 2006 to establish an
Intelligence Community Center for Academic Excellence or
IC-CAE. The goal of the IC-CAE is to prepare students
for leadership positions in government service with a
specific emphasis on developing those critical skills
necessary to begin a career in the Intelligence
Community.
The Norfolk school division launched a formal Arabic language program this summer, with help from Norfolk State University's Intelligence Community Center for Academic Excellence.
The center is using part of a federal grant to pay for Norfolk's summer class and Arabic courses at Maury and Norview High schools starting this fall.
The IC-CAE specifically targets women and
racial/ethnic minorities with varied cultural
backgrounds, regional and geographical
expertise, language proficiency and related
competencies. As a Historically Black
College/University (HBCU) Norfolk State
University is uniquely postured to meet these
needs.
Internationally Diverse Education and Area Studies Program
This IC-CAE initiative, which is called the
Internationally Diverse Education and Area
Studies (IDEAS) Program at Norfolk State
University, is designed to augment student’s
current major area of study and increase their
opportunity for employment within the
Intelligence Community.
