FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Harrisburg, PA — May 4, 2026 — SE&M Solutions today announced the continued expansion of its close relationship with Harrisburg University of Science and Technology (HU), reinforcing a shared commitment to developing the next generation of technology professionals and advancing cutting-edge quantum innovation.
SE&M Solutions takes pride in a uniquely strong academic connection: every in-office employee is either a graduate or a current student at Harrisburg University. This distinctive workforce composition reflects the company’s confidence in the university’s hands-on, industry-aligned education model and underscores a deliberate effort to invest in local talent.
“Our partnership with Harrisburg University is not just a pipeline; it’s the foundation of our culture and our future,” said Charlie Sowell, CEO of SE&M Solutions. “We are building a team that learns, innovates, and grows together, starting in the classroom and continuing into real-world impact.”
In April, Sowell further strengthened this relationship by hosting a Lunch & Learn event for Harrisburg University students, offering insights into industry trends, career pathways, and the evolving landscape of quantum computing and IT solutions. The event provided students with direct exposure to leadership and practical knowledge beyond traditional coursework.
Looking ahead, SE&M Solutions’ leadership will continue to contribute to the academic community. COO Larry Rose is scheduled to teach at Harrisburg University this summer, bringing real-world financial and operational expertise into the classroom and further bridging the gap between academia and industry.
SE&M Solutions remains committed to expanding this partnership to create meaningful career opportunities for students in technology, IT, and emerging quantum fields. By continuing to invest in Harrisburg University talent, the company aims to support regional workforce development while driving innovation in one of the most consequential areas of modern technology.
SE&M and Harrisburg University are planning new and exciting strategic initiatives in the coming months. The first venture will be a Symposium on emerging quantum computing fields, housed within a new university Center of Learning, Quantum Storm, which complements HU’s already strong portfolio of STEM-focused degrees and professional development certificates.
“We see Harrisburg University as a long-term partner in shaping the future of technology and the true connection between academia and industry,” Sowell added.
