In this episode of Sentinel Soundbytes, we sit down with ASCTE President Matt Massey and CTO Chase Golden for an inside look at one of the school’s most ambitious initiatives yet—the newly approved ASCTE Research Institute. They break down what a research center actually is, why it matters, and how it positions ASCTE as a global leader in cyber education. Matt and Chase walk through the Institute’s four research labs, the statewide impact of the Alabama Center of Excellence, and the strategic partnerships driving innovation across K–12, higher education, industry, and government.
We also dive into the physical expansion coming to campus, the 2027 opening timeline, and how student internships, capstones, and emerging-technology curriculum will be shaped by this new hub for collaboration. This episode offers a clear look at how ASCTE is preparing students—and the State of Alabama—for the future of cyber, AI, and engineering workforce development.
