Compu Dynamics hosted its 5th Annual Golf Tournament, raising an impressive $45,000 to support Northern Virginia Community College’s (NOVA) Information and Engineering Technologies (IET) programs. This record-breaking event underscores the company’s dedication to empowering the next generation of data center professionals while supporting local education.

“We’re thrilled by the overwhelming support from our partners and participants,” said Steve Altizer, president and CEO of Compu Dynamics. “By investing in education, we’re not only helping students build careers but also strengthening the future of the data center industry.”

This year’s tournament brought together over 150 participants from 30 companies, spanning data center owners, cloud providers, infrastructure manufacturers, and more. Since its inception, the event has raised more than $150,000 to fund programs that inspire students to explore engineering and data center careers.

The funds raised directly impact initiatives like NOVA’s IET Career Days, where high school students get hands-on exposure to engineering technology and data center operations. These events provide students with opportunities to interact with industry professionals, explore potential career paths, and gain a deeper understanding of the skills needed for success.

“Compu Dynamics leads by example when it comes to investing in the future workforce,” shared Kelly Persons, executive director of the NOVA Educational Foundation. “Thanks to their support, students across Northern Virginia are gaining valuable insights and skills that prepare them for dynamic careers.”

As Northern Virginia continues to serve as the “Data Center Capital of the World,” partnerships like this are critical. By fostering collaboration between education and industry, Compu Dynamics is helping ensure the region’s workforce remains competitive in this rapidly growing sector. “This event goes beyond the greens—it’s about creating opportunities that benefit both our community and the industry,” Altizer added. Compu Dynamics’ ongoing efforts highlight the importance of uniting education and industry to drive innovation and growth.
