Honors College students Emma and Madeleine McBride earn Cyber Service Academy national
fellowship
Two sisters at the University of South Carolina's Honors College are making waves
in cybersecurity after both earning prestigious Department of Defense Cyber Service
Academy fellowships. Emma and Madeleine McBride, despite taking different paths to
computing, are now working to address critical cybersecurity challenges. While Emma
focuses on artificial intelligence and biometric systems, Madeleine specializes in
digital forensics. Together, they're not only advancing cyber defense through their
DoD-sponsored work and internships but also leading USC's Women in Computing club
to encourage more diverse representation in the field.
