From Transfer Student to U.S. Cyber Team: Brandon Wright’s Fast-Track to Cyber Excellence

When Brandon Wright transferred to UMGC in 2023 to pursue a Bachelor of Science in Cybersecurity Technology, he wasn't just looking for a degree; he was looking for a proving ground. He found it on the university's cybersecurity competition team, where real-world challenges and a tight-knit community helped him grow into a nationally recognized competitor.

"Everything I learned that helped me get here came from my experience with the UMGC cyber team," Wright said. "It's where I learned to think fast, work under pressure, and trust my instincts."
