Welcome to the Maryland Institute for Innovative Computing (MIIC) newsletter.

MIIC's purpose is to bring together researchers, educators, industry, and government to address challenges in areas such as cybersecurity, artificial intelligence, and cloud computing. Our goal is to keep Maryland at the forefront of discovery while providing opportunities for students, educators, and professionals to develop the skills needed in today's technology-driven world.

"The Range is a perfect fit for student-driven projects—whether they're preparing for competitions or building their own capture-the-flag challenges." 

In this first issue, we highlight one of our flagship initiatives: Maryland's access to the U.S. Cyber Range. This cloud-based training environment provides hands-on cybersecurity learning without the need for local infrastructure.

Thanks to state support, K–12 school systems and public higher education institutions can use the platform at no cost.

This newsletter will feature updates, events, and opportunities to engage with MIIC. We look forward to building this community together! 

For the complete newsletter, please check out the flyer attached!

Healing from Family Challenges is a six-week group that provides psychoeducation and skills that help address the effects of adverse childhood experiences. It helps the members to recognize how these past challenging experiences might be impacting their current functioning and helps individuals identify healthy ways of coping with their experiences. Students transition from surviving past experiences to thriving in the present. The group creates a safe and supportive environment to develop an alternate way of looking at the past and develop a sense of meaning and purpose that help them thrive today.

Wednesdays, 3:00 PM-4:30 PM beginning October 15.

The first step to joining any group is to complete an Initial Consultation appointment. Please call us at 410-455-2542 or visit the RetrieverCare portal to schedule.

For general group questions, or if you need accommodations for a disability, please send a secure message to CC Front Desk via the patient portal at least one week prior to the start of group and RIH will arrange for services.

This event is open for full participation by all individuals regardless of race, color, religion, sex, national origin, or any other protected category under applicable federal law, state law, and the University's nondiscrimination policy.
