Several Cisco Academy networking students from Coastline Community

College were selected to work alongside Cisco engineers to experience the

planning, design and installation of a computer network for the

Democratic National Convention in Los Angeles.

The college also received $35,000 in technology equipment. In

addition, Cisco had a professionally produced video of the students’

involvement made on the spot and showed it on the floor of the

convention.

Coastline Community College has one of the largest Cisco Academies in

the world. During November, Coastline will launch a more advanced program

that will offer certification as a Cisco certified network professional.
