Overview

Artificial Intelligence is rapidly reshaping the cybersecurity landscape-from Large Language Models that automate phishing to adversarial attacks that evade detection. To prepare the next generation of cybersecurity professionals, educators must integrate these concepts into their curricula.

Supported by the National Science Foundation (NSF), this fully-funded summer institute is a collaborative initiative between The George Washington University and the University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa. We provide cybersecurity faculty with the dedicated time, technical resources, and expert mentorship needed to modernize their curricula. We are excited to welcome our inaugural cohort of educators to the 2026 program!

Through this program, participants gain:

• Technical Fluency: Hands-on experience with PyTorch, LLMs, and Adversarial ML tools.
• Course Materials: A “Fall-ready” curriculum module tailored for the home institution’s specific teaching context.
• A Community: A network of peers and experts to support long-term teaching goals.
