IC-CAE Overview
Preparing Leaders for America's Global Market
Norfolk State University was awarded a five year $2.3 million grant from the
Office of the Department 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 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.
Additionally, Norfolk State is
especially well-positioned to get into intelligence studies because of its
proximity to many major military bases, the headquarters of many intelligence
agencies and other special operations training facilities. Please see related
articles.
This comprehensive program at Norfolk State University encompasses:
- Scholarships for language & cultural study abroad
- Summer internships and co-op opportunities within the intelligence
community (IC)
- Faculty and student research grants
- Pre-college outreach program
- Faculty and student mentorship
Additional information about this IC-CAE program can be found in the
IDEAS section of this website.
