St. John’s University has received a $250,000 endowed gift from Craig Newmark Philanthropies to establish a community-based cybersecurity clinic within The Lesley H. and William L. Collins College of Professional Studies’ Cyber Security Center of Academic Excellence. Based in Queens, NY, the clinic will provide cybersecurity services to small businesses, healthcare providers, and nonprofits while offering hands-on experiential learning opportunities for undergraduate Cyber Security Systems students. The initiative will allow students to gain real-world experience addressing cybersecurity challenges while supporting vulnerable community organizations. The University’s nationally recognized cybersecurity programs continue to earn distinction from organizations including the National Security Agency and the US Department of Homeland Security.

The signage includes a QR code that leads to an educational website chronicling Fort Neck in Massapequa, Long Island.
