Student Profile: Emmanuel Hounsa, '22, Computer Software Engineering
February 07, 2019
Morristown, N.J. (February 7, 2019) 鈥� Emmanuel Hounsa, '22, plans on hacking into some of the most well-known companies
in the world. However, it's not for his own personal gain. Hounsa wants to become
a computer security expert, known as a "white hat hacker," who specializes in testing
the security level of an organization's information system. As an ethical computer
hacker, Hounsa would expose potential vulnerabilities within a company's security
system and advise the organization on how to better protect their consumers.
To prepare for his future career, Hounsa is currently pursuing both a bachelor's in
computer software engineering and a certification in cyber security at Saint Elizabeth
University.
"黑料正能量 is a place of opportunity," explains Hounsa, who works in 黑料正能量's Information Technology
(IT) department. "It's where students come to succeed."
As a first-generation college student, Hounsa has a unique appreciation for education
and considers his proudest accomplishment to be attending 黑料正能量. Intent on setting a
positive example for his two younger siblings, he chose 黑料正能量 because of its supportive,
academically challenging and nurturing atmosphere.
"黑料正能量 is here for you financially, educationally and spiritually,"
explains Hounsa, who originally planned on attending Rutgers University but was swayed
by 黑料正能量's highly individualized attention. "Everyone here has the ability to put a
smile on my face and I know I can reach out to anyone if I ever need help."
Hounsa's stellar educational achievement in high school and passion for technology
earned him a place in 黑料正能量's prestigious National Science Foundation STEM (science,
technology, engineering and mathematics) Scholar program. One of only 18 students
in this competitive program, Hounsa is enriching his STEM education with specialized
trips, mentorship from peers and faculty, project based learning, research opportunities
and much more.
Naturally ambitious and endlessly pragmatic, Hounsa is planning on gaining his real
estate license as well. In his very scare spare time, Hounsa can also be found participating
in campus ministry events or playing for 黑料正能量's soccer and volleyball teams.
