lastsummer, 70 high school students participated in the week-long cybersecurity summer campevent at North Dakota State University in Fargo, North Dakota.The cybersecurity summer camp curriculum is facilitated by junior counselors (students whohave completed high school that have a strong interest in cybersecurity), counselors (collegestudents with cybersecurity experience), and university faculty & staff. This paper studies theimpact of having counselors and junior counselors integrated into the cybersecurity summercamp experience and evaluates the impact that being a counselor has on the students thatparticipate in that role. These impacts facilitate cybersecurity community engagement.1. IntroductionThe need for quality cybersecurity education

Several research and capstone projectsaimed at improving efficiency and reducing operational costs at the food bank are summarized.Then, opportunities for expanding the scope and impact of the research agenda are discussed.Specifically, these opportunities focus on interdisciplinary collaborations centered on the use ofsustainable urban agriculture as a means to increase access to fresh produce within theemergency food network, improve health outcomes for socially disadvantaged people, revitalizeneighborhoods, and alleviate urban poverty. Finally, plans to incorporate formal assessment andreflective activities related to community engaged learning are presented.1

Most are at risk and are in need because they aresubsisting on a fixed income, whose buying power continues to fall over time, and who live at orbelow the poverty level. Many also have medical bills that consume much of their income, whichforces them to put off needed home repairs and modifications.

According to an AmericanSociety for Engineering Education (ASEE) report from 2018, between 2013 and 2016, the totalnumber of students who received bachelor’s degrees in civil engineering declined by 8% in theU.S. [1]. This decrease creates some concerns because the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS)projects employment with nearly 140,000 new jobs expected for engineers over the 2016–26decade, meaning in perspective, there will be a high demand for engineering graduates [2].

The ultimate objective of theseactivities is to encourage more students to choose an education in the STEM fields and pursue aSTEM-related career in the future [2].Attracting more female students into the STEM fields is a challenge.

Often, the sense of urgency in a disaster recoverysituation creates a “help the helpless” mindset among aid agencies, and also creates a timeausterity that conflicts with listening, building local consensus, and modifying recovery plans [1][2] [3]. Few funding channels are open to community teams to design and implement their ownsolutions. It is difficult for community designers to access scholarly research and technicalengineering, and difficult for sophisticated engineers to embrace simple, inexpensive solutions.To put this in perspective, we understand development approaches in general, and disaster reliefapproaches in particular, to fall under one of four
