initiative. The Center is a central repository
of all of Dr. Denning’s works in the
field in addition to being a meeting place.
Future plans are to make the Center a
mobile computer laboratory – an initiative
consistent with Dr. Denning’s theories and
applications of Information Assurance.
Additionally, because of NJCU’s strategic
location in proximity to urban settings, the
Center promotes the field of Information
Assurance and cyber security consistent
with the United States Homeland Security
Department.

The Dr. Dorothy E. Denning Center
of Academic Excellence in Information
Assurance Education is a multidisciplinary
Center that supports New Jersey City
University’s mission as an institution that
provides its diverse population of students,
faculty and community with scholarship
and pragmatic approaches to the field
of Information Assurance. Information
Assurance is generally defined to include
cyber security, cyber forensics, data quality,
data completeness, data accuracy, privacy
and issues associated with the storage,
communication and sharing of data and
information. Dr. Dorothy E. Denning is
the namesake of the Center in recognition
of her pioneering work in the field, during
a period of our nation’s history when
women were severely underrepresented in
the sciences. The Center involves facultyand
students from across the University in
teaching and learning, service projects and
research. The Center aligns itself with faculty
and students at other institutions such
as community colleges and other four-year
colleges. The overall mission is to enhance
the security and integrity of information
within the geographical region, with future
plans to extend nationally and beyond.
The Information Assurance Program at
NJCU takes on a leadership role within
information assurance and cyber security
by contributing to the Homeland Defense
