Leahy Center for Digital Forensics & Cybersecurity

A place for the next generation of specialists and engineers to learn and grow

Since opening in 2010, The Leahy Center has become the central hub of digital forensics and cybersecurity at Champlain College. It's a world-class laboratory with state-of-the-art technology, providing digital forensics and cybersecurity services to a wide variety of organizations, from government bodies to local businesses.

Students at both the undergraduate and graduate levels who work at the Leahy Center have an opportunity to learn by participating in a practical and hands-on laboratory environment, alongside professionals on research and real cases involving cybercrime, digital forensics, and information assurance.

We provide digital forensics and cybersecurity support, training, research, and other technical services to assist law enforcement agencies, non-profit organizations, and small businesses in Vermont and throughout the nation in areas related to cybercrime.

Trusted by the Department of Defense, Department of Justice, and Secret Service, Champlain students work on important research, backed by significant federal grants. Our students also help create training programs for law-enforcement officials, setting the standard for professional digital forensic work.


Our laboratory environment provides practical, hands-on experience for Champlain College students to learn, grow, and hone their talents.
